Indrajit, who had threatened Gauri Lankesh, not cooperating in probe: SIT

Bengaluru, Sept 14: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), which has intensified its probe into the murder of journalist- activist Gauri Lankesh, questioned Indrajit Lankesh, younger brother of the victim in detail on Wednesday.

The questioning was based on the complaint Gauri had filed in 2005 accusing Indrajit of threatening her at gunpoint over a property dispute. Indrajit and Gauri had severe ideological differences too. 

“We are trying to check the weapon Indrajit had and he is not cooperating with investigations," a senior police officer said. The 'non-cooperation' could be due to personal ego issues with Indrajit questioning how a brother can be quizzed over his own sister's death, which the police could understand. However, they need to question and record all statements of everybody concerned with her death before reaching any conclusions, the officer added.

Meanwhile, the police are waiting for the ballistic report about the firearm used to kill Gauri. The four bullets, of which one is fragmented, are with the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), which is preparing a report which will take at least two weeks to be out, a senior official said.

Bengaluru, Apr 7: Former Minister and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramiah on Tuesday termed the shutting by private clinics in the state by doctors as an 'inhuman act'.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, the Congress leader said due to the fear of Novel Coronavirus, the doctors have closed their private clinics, which was against their profession.

This has affected the people, especially those, who are suffering from other deceases. He urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to intervene and resolve the issue immediately.

Despite the government instructions not to close down their clinics, the doctors have not been responding positively, Mr Siddaramaiah noted.

In this connection, the government should act seriously and give necessary warning to the doctors, to either open their clinics to serve the people, or face action, he added.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

 

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

We respect ur decision sir.

 

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

 

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

 

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
