Kavitha, Indira Lankesh met Siddaramaiah
Conveyed thanks for arresting Gauri Lankesh murder accused
Bengaluru, June 17: Following the arrest of the accused in the Gauri Lankesh murder case, her sister Kavitha and mother Indira Lankesh on Sunday met former chief minister Siddaramaiah and thanked him for taking steps to arrest the accused.
Kavitha said that when Siddaramaiah was the chief minister, he appointed senior police officer BK Singh as investigating officer and helped in arresting the accused. For this reason, they have met him at his house and thanked him. Gauri should get justice, she said and exuded confidence that impartial investigation is being conducted with the arrest of the accused.
Taking the murder seriously, Siddaramaiah had ordered for SIT probe. Because of the dare decisions of the SIT officials, the accused were arrested. But they cannot ask the particular punishment to the accused as they are not the advocates. But she hoped that her family would get a fair justice from the government, police and the court of law, she said.

Ball Python rescued from housing society in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): A ball python, generally found in Africa, has been rescued from a residential area in Mumbai, a wildlife welfare group representative said on Thursday.
The reptile was found abandoned at a housing society in Mahim last week, triggering panic in the area.
After being alerted, members of a wildlife welfare NGO reached the spot, rescued the snake and handed it over to the forest department, he said.
The ball python is not native to India. Hence, the reptile found here is suspected to be a lost or abandoned illegal pet, the Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare (RAWW) said.
The forest department is investigating the matter to initiate necessary action, it said.
The snake will be rehabilitated in consultation with experts from RAWW, the NGO said.
