Mangaluru, Jul 22: Sources privy to the Special Investigation Team probing into the murder of journalist-cum-activist Gauri Lankesh has said that Mohan Nayak, who was arrested as seventh accused earlier this week from his village of Sampaje, near Sullia in Dakshina Kannada district, had provided shelter to the killers.

50-year-old Nayak, a Naati Vaidya (a non-qualified doctor of sorts), ran an acupuncture clinic at Kumbalagodu in Bengaluru. He was arrested on Wednesday night, and produced before a city court which remanded him in judicial custody for six days.

The acupuncture clinic was run out of a rented room, which Mohan later vacated for the other accused in the case to stay in the run-up to Gauri’s killing, and returned to his village, the sources said.

Mohan is suspected to have handed over the 7.65mm gun to Parashuram Waghmore, resident of Sindagi, hours before the latter fired from it at Gauri in front of her residence in Rajarajeshwari Nagar on September 5, 2017.

SIT sources said Mohan was very close to Amol Kale, the Pune resident who is suspected to be one of the main conspirators in the killing. Mohan had lent his mobile phone to Kale.

Sleuths were led to Mohan by an entry in Kale’s diary, found in his Pune house. K T Naveen Kumar, the Maddur gunrunner who was the first to be arrested in the Gauri case, told his interrogators that Kale and Mohan held frequent closed door meetings. Mohan was in constant touch with Kale and other accused after Gauri’s killing too. He even met Kale once in Belagavi.

According to SIT sources, Mohan participated in several Hindutva meetings in Goa and Maharashtra. Quoting Sampaje residents, the sources said Mohan carried huge bags during his journeys to Belagavi and Goa. They said SIT sleuths will be taking Mohan to Sampaje, Kushalnagar and Belagavi soon.

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

Young energetic Muslim brothers present in Dk ,please note we need young leaders to lead us . Wake up ... and take over .

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
