Bengaluru sources have stated that Gauri Lankesh would have turned 56 years old on Monday if she had not been shot dead by unknown assailants in September 2017. Meanwhile in remembrance of the slain journalist, her family, colleagues, friends and supporters came together at Town Hall in Bengaluru on Monday.
Sources have stated that even four months after the journalist’s demise, her memory, work and fierce determination to uphold journalism continues to be celebrated by her supporters across the country. Meanwhile the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing her death is yet to make an arrest in connection with her killing, in spite of Gauri’s death triggering nation-wide protests in September last year.
Furthermore sources in the Gauri Memorial Trust
told that apart from the matter of funds, there is a temporary injunction
order obtained by Indira Lankesh, Gauri’s mother, restraining people from
starting a paper with the terms ‘Gauri’ or ‘Lankesh’.
