Gauri Lankesh Murder Accused, Out On Bail, Honoured By Hindutva Organisations

Gauri Lankesh Murder Accused: A video of the two accused being honoured is now in wide circulation on social media.

Amid 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Sanatana Dharma Ki Jai' chants, key men accused in the journalist Gauri Lankesh murder case were given a rousing welcome by some Hindutva organisations on their arrival in their home town over the weekend in Karnataka.

Gauri Lankesh, a senior journalist and activist, was shot dead on the night of September 5 in 2017 outside her Rajarajeshwari Nagar residence in Bengaluru. She was 55.

Ms Lankesh - who ran the weekly 'Gauri Lankesh Patrike,' a Kannada tabloid - was part of a group that worked for communal harmony. Her views were considered Leftist and anti-Hindutva.
