The Special Investigation Team probing the killing of journalist Gauri Lankesh on Saturday released the sketches of two suspects and video footage from CCTV cameras. It has sought public help to nab the culprits.
Based on information collected from witnesses, three sketches of two suspects were prepared. They could have been staying near Lankesh’s residence to track her movements, the SIT said.
“There are only two suspects, but we have released three photographs altogether based on accounts of two witnesses...
We have released two photographs of one of the suspects because two professional painters drew them,” SIT Chief BK Singh told reporters here.
The video footage showed a man riding a motorcycle without a registration number apparently to conceal his identity.
The officer asked the public to reach him on the mobile number: 9480800202, share details on WhatsApp numbers 9480800304, 9480801701 or e-mail to “sit.glankesh@ksp.gov.in“.
The SIT chief said the identity of any person giving information leading to the arrest of the accused would be kept confidential. The person would be “suitably rewarded” as has already been declared by the State government.
