Plea opposes dropping of charges
The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought a response from the Karnataka government to a plea made by the sister of murdered activist Gauri Lankesh challenging the dropping of organised crime charges against an accused in the case. A Bench led by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar issued notice to the State on the petition filed by Kavitha Lankesh. Ms. Lankesh, a filmmaker, has appealed to the top court against the State High Court’s decision in April to quash charges under the Karnataka Control of Organised Crimes Act (KCOCA) against Mohan Nayak.More Related News
