Journalist Gauri Lankesh Murder: SC Rejects Plea Challenging Bail Granted to Mohan Nayak
The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday (July 16) granted bail to three accused individuals in the murder of activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh.
Lankesh was killed by two motorcycle-borne assailants outside her home in Rajarajeshwari Nagar (West Bengaluru) on the night of September 5, 2017.
A single bench of Justice S. Vishwajith Shetty granted bail to Amit Digvekar, KT Naveen Kumar, and HL Suresh.
The three accused individuals applied for bail citing the case of co-accused Mohan Nayak, who was granted bail by the High Court in December 2023 due to the delay in trial. Nayak had sought bail on the grounds of the delay in concluding the trial, noting that out of a total of 527 chargesheet witnesses, only 90 had been examined at that time.
The State opposed their bail pleas, referring to an order from the Dharwad bench of the High Court, which had rejected the bail applications of those accused in the killing of scholar and activist MM Kalaburagi.
