Bengaluru Court Denies Bail To 6 Accused In Gauri Lankesh Murder Case

A Bengaluru special court on February 20 rejected the bail plea of six people accused of killing senior journalist-cum-activist Gauri Lankesh. Notably, the main accused and his aide have not yet applied for bail while the court had earlier denied bail to three other accused. Reportedly, the accused had shot Lankesh dead in September 2017 outside her house after getting inspired by a right-wing group Sanatan Sanstha's book that addressed Lankesh as a "Durjan".
