Gauri Lankesh murder case: Court reserves verdict against 16 accused including Amol Kale
Bengaluru, Jan 25: The city civil court which completed the hearing of a case on bail plea of 16 accused including Amol Kale in the Gauri Lankesh murder case, reserved its verdict on Friday.
The advocate who argued on behalf of the accused said that the SIT officials have filed charge sheet before time. COCA Act has been implemented against the accused due to which the accused should be given bail, he demanded.
However, the SIT advocate said that after enforcing the COCA Act, compulsory bail could not be given. So the bail plea filed by the accused should be dismissed, he demanded.
After hearing both the arguments, the judge reserved the verdict on Feb 7. Journalist Gauri Lankesh was killed on September 5, 2017.
In view of this, the SIT has filed charge sheet to the court against 16 accused including Amol Kale, Parashuram Waghmore, Ganesh Miskin, Amith Buddies. All the accused are in Parappana Agrahara jail.
