Gauri Lankesh murder: SIT to seek custody of man arrested by Bengaluru police
Over 15 rounds of cartridges of .32 calibre, which are the same as the 7.65 mm cartridges, were seized from Naveen Kumar's possession.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the September 5, 2017 murder of journalist-cum-activist Gauri Lankesh, 55, outside her residence in Bengaluru, is set to seek the custody of a 37-year-old man who was arrested on February 18 for illegal possession of bullets. K T Naveen Kumar, who hails from south Karnataka, was arrested by the Bengaluru Police on February 18 following a complaint by crime branch officials that he was carrying bullets at a city bus stand. Investigation in the case has revealed that Kumar, during his conversation about guns and ammunition with some of his friends from Maddur, had alluded to his links to the
murder case.
SIT officials have already questioned Kumar on a few occasions till now.
Kumar’s alleged links with Hindu Yuva Sena, right-wing radical Hindutva group, and Sanatan Sanstha outfit and its affiliate the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti were also established during the probe. Over 15 rounds of cartridges of .32 calibre, which are the same as the 7.65 mm cartridges, were seized from his possession.
