Rahul Gandhi has pleaded not guilty for allegedly linking journalist Gauri Lankesh's killing with the "BJP-RSS ideology". He appeared before a Mumbai court after an RSS worker filed a case against him for comments linking Gauri Lankesh’s murder to BJP-RSS ideology

Additional Advocate General Devadutt Kamat argued that the Gauri Lankesh case is already linked to the Kalburgi probe. So there is no point giving the Kalburgi case now to the Maharashtra SIT, to which the Bench agreed.
 

Justice BA Patil, after hearing the plea, observed that there was enough evidence to suggest that Mohan was involved in journalist Gauri Lankesh's murder

Kavitha Lankesh, sister of Gauri Lankesh, the senior journalist, who was murdered on September 5, 2017, said that if the Karnataka government agreed to the CBI probe, she would seek to implead herself in the matter in the Supreme Court and oppose it as she is happy with SIT probe. 
 

The SIT told the court that it wanted to probe accused Kale's role in the murder of Pansare. Karnataka Police had earlier arrested Kale in connection with the murder of Gauri Lankesh.

With SIT intensifying its probe on the murder of journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh and three arrests the SIT is getting closer to finding the mastermind of this operation.

SIT is probing the Gauri murder case whereas CID is investigating Kalburgi’s killing. The probe team, while dealing with the Gauri case, is said to have found that the same people are likely to be involved in the murder of Kalburgi too.

So far nine people have been arrested by Karnataka police’s SIT in connection with journalist Gauri Lankesh’s murder case
 

Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara lauded the state police and said the murder case of Gauri Lankesh would be solved soon. So far eight persons have been arrested.
