Probe Sri Rama Sene 'head office': CM Ibrahim
Gauri Lankesh murder case
Bengaluru, June 16: MLC C M Ibrahim said that as Parashuram Waghmore admitted that he has killed journalist Gauri Lankesh, the SIT officials should find out the force and persons behind such youth.
Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, Ibrahim said that already, the main accused in the case has admitted his role in killing Gauri. But the police should find out the force and people who influenced to kill Gauri Lankesh. This incident has disclosed everything to the people of the state. Just inventing medicine would not heal the disease. But reason for the disease should be identified. So, all forces behind Gauri Lankesh murder should be arrested, he demanded.
Head Office
Making serious allegation that Sri Rama Sene president Pramod Mutalik is head office of this crime, Ibrahim said that the SIT officials should interrogate him first. He is about to retire from life. At this age, how he can go to the god after creating such tumultuous situation in the society, he asked.
Let him repent for his misdeeds and follow good path during his last days. He has pity for Mutalik who is in airport after getting the ticket from the God. The police should also arrest the accused in the senior scholar Dr MM Kalburgi murder case, he demanded.
