Gouri Lankesh murder: Charge sheet likely to be submitted
Bengaluru, May 28: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) officials are likely to submit their charge sheet to the court in related to journalist Gauri Lankesh murder shortly.
Sources said that as investigation, interrogation and statements from suspected accused Naveen Kumar, witnesses and FSL experts was completed, shortly the charge sheet would be submitted to the court besides searching for other accused in the case.
As there is a chance of moving a bail application in the court citing the delay in submitting the charge sheet even after three months of arresting the accused, the SIT officials have planned to submit the charge sheet. If the advocate of the accused moved the bail application on the above ground, then court might consider the application and sanction the bail. In view of this, SIT officials have decided to submit the 300 page charge sheet in the first phase to avoid the bail to the accused. After this, the SIT officials have planned to take the accused into their custody and interrogate him further.
As per the law, the police should submit the charge sheet before 90 days of filing an FIR. If the investigation is not completed, then they have to get extension from the court. So, the SIT would soon submit the charge sheet in the case, it is said.
