There’s no relationship between Gauri Lankesh murder and EVMs tampering: Kavitha Lankesh
Bengaluru, Jan 24: Strongly brushing aside the statement of a self declared cyber expert that slain journalist Gauri Lankesh, who knew about tampering of Electronic Voting Machines before 2014 Lok Sabha elections, was agreed to write about it in her magazine due to which she was killed, Kavitha Lankesh, sister of Gauri Lankesh, said that “as per the information I knew, it was completely false. I don’t know as to why he has given such statement? I would not believe that my sister was targeted in EVMs tampering issue”.
Gauri Lankesh was shot dead in front of her house in Bengaluru on September 5, 2017. So far, 16 accused were arrested related to the case and Special Investigation Team has filed 9235-page charge sheet against 18 accused. Cyber expert Syed Shuja, hailed from the USA, alleged that the BJP had tampered EVMs during 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
“The cyber expert had said that he had appealed Gauri Lankesh to report about EVM tampering and she had agreed to do it. It was true that my sister’s murder was a part of political conspiracy. But I would not believe such twists. Currently, the investigation is going on in a right direction”, Kavitha said smelling rat in the statement of Shuja.
