SIT hopes to get pistol if another accused held
Gauri Lankesh murder
Bengaluru, July 30: The SIT probe being conducted into the murder case of journalist Gauri Lankesh might reach its logical end, if the investigating officials traced another accused who is believed to have the pistol used to kill Gauri, sources said.
The miscreants had shot Gauri Lankesh near her house at Rajarajeshwari Nagar in the city on September 5, 2017. Since then, the SIT officials have been trying to trace the pistol and bike used to kill Gauri. But with the arrest of main accused, the SIT officials have collected important clues.
With the arrest of main accused who shot Gauri, Parashuram Waghmore of Vijayapura, Ganesh Miskin of Hubballi and Amith Baddi, the SIT officials have got the information that another accused who is absconding, has the pistol. After killing Gauri, all the four accused were there in a house at Seegehalli in the city. After some time, when one accused left the house with the pistol, remaining three reached their houses in a car, it is said.
In the same way, another accused Amol Kale of Maharashtra was near Yeshwanthpur cross on that day. HL Ganesh of Tumkur had burnt the cloths of the accused to destroy the evidences. It is said that the name of the last accused is called ‘Dada’. If Dada is arrested, the investigation into the Gauri Lankesh murder would reach logical end, the sources said.

PM Modi, RSS strengthening wall in path of SCs, STs, OBCs: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS were strengthening the wall standing in the path of Dalits, Adivasis and OBCs, even as he acknowledged that the UPA took steps to weaken that wall but not to the extent it should have.
Addressing the 'Samvidhan Rakshak Abhiyaan', Gandhi also referred to the function held on Constitution Day in Parliament and said that it is his guarantee, that "Modi has not read" the Constitution.
"If PM Modi would have read this book then what he does daily, he would not do it," Gandhi said, displaying a copy of the Constitution of India.
Gandhi said the country's whole system is pitted against Dalits, Adivasis and backward class people.
He said a wall obstructs the path of Dalits, Adivasis and OBCs and Modi and the RSS are strengthening that wall by "adding cement to it".
"Slowly the wall (obstructing the path of SCs, STs, OBCs) is getting strengthened. Earlier, the UPA government gave MGNREGA, the land acquisition act, the right to food...those were ways to weaken that wall. Today, when I look back, I can say the UPA government did not weaken the wall to the extent it should have, it did not do it as strongly as it should have," Gandhi said.
"However, we used to make efforts to weaken that wall but they (the BJP) are strengthening that wall by adding concrete," the former Congress president said.
Gandhi said a caste survey being carried out in Telangana is a historic step and the Congress will do the same wherever it comes to power.
