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.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Continuing easing of restrictions under 'unlock-1,' the Karnataka government has allowed shooting and production of films and television programmes in the state.

In a clarification, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad said, shooting and production of all films and television programmes that were stopped in between due to lockdown can be allowed.

It is also allowed to continue with the post-production activities of film and television programmes after completing the shooting, it said.

The permission is conditional as it is subjected to adhering of the national directives issued in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and standard operating procedures prescribed by the Department of Information and Public Relations.

The clarification said permission can be given as film and television shooting and production activities are not banned under guidelines issued by the centre and the state government recently.

Mangaluru, July 5: Two children died after getting trapped under the debris of a landslide which occurred at Banglagudde in Kaikamba on the outskirts of Mangaluru today.

The deceased are identified as Safwan (16) and Sahala (10).

The rescue teams including personnel from NDRF, fire service and police brought out the body after four hours of rescue operation.

According to sources, landslides occurred at 12:30 pm and of the five members, three ran out of the house. The two kids got trapped in the debris.

The heavy rain in the last two days has softened the soil of the hillock. An Auto-rickshaw, lorry and a bike too have buried under the soil.

It was said that caving in of the hillock continued even when the rescue operation was in progress, thus making the rescue operation difficult.

District-in-Charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary who visited the spot said two houses have been completely damaged and inmates of 14 houses that are facing the problem in the vicinity will be shifted to safer locations.
