Bengaluru, June 18: When the SIT officials intensified the interrogation of main accused in the Gauri Lankesh murder case, Parashuram Waghmore, it came to light that the accused have formed four different teams to kill four rationalists.
The accused have systematically carried out their crime by killing four rationalists like Govind Pansare, Narendra Dabholkar, Dr MM Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh in four separate teams. It came to light when the SIT interrogated Parashuram, it is said.
The modus operandi of all the four murders was same. But it was not yet known who provided the pistols to these accused to kill the rationalists. SIT has continued its investigation to find that person, for which investigation is being conducted even in neighbouring states, sources said.
It is suspected that one person and one organization were behind the killings of these people. But the SIT officials did not get the clue about that person. These teams were active in Karnataka and Maharashtra and plotting to kill other rationalists, sources said.
Hearing postponed
The 70th CCH Court on Monday postponed the hearing of a bail plea filed by another main accused in the case and Hindu organization head KT Naveen Kumar to June 21, sources said.

Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
