BENGALURU: Seventy-two hours have handed by the time of submitting this document and the police are none the wiser. On Friday, the government introduced a praise of Rs 10 lakh+ for anyone offering information that might result in arrests in the Gauri Lankesh murder case+ . The announcement came after home minister Ramalinga Reddy briefed CM about the status of the investigation.
It's now not difficult to see why the police are determined for clues. Every proof that the police had been banking on (CCTV footage of space; of cameras along the way from Gauri's Gandhi Bazaar place of work to RR Nagar home) has nearly hit a dead-end.
New angles have emerged after the particular investigation crew (SIT) pored over the CCTV footage as soon as again on Friday, however there's rarely anything else to pursue. Some movies are doing the rounds of social media (appearing "recreation of the crime scene") however the police have advised other folks to not fall for such fake movies. What the actual footage presentations is this:
* Gauri Lankesh arrives at her RR Nagar space at 8.09 pm on Tuesday (the actual time used to be 8.26 pm; police say there used to be some technical error in the CCTV setup at Gauri's space).
* She parks her car correct outside her gate and switches off the headlights. She sits in the car for 2 minutes (police don't really know why).
* She then steps out, swings open the iron gate; she takes two steps conserving the proper portion of the gate.
* Just then, a gentle flashes on her car (the arrival of the killer on a motorbike since it's a single head lamp). The motorbike is parked exactly at the back of the automobile (the killer most definitely knew that Gauri had installed CCTV cameras; because of this he took pains to hide his identity and that of his motorbike)
* The killer then walks up to Gauri and he or she turns in opposition to him (police imagine he may have addressed her)
* He then fires at her abdomen on the left; he may also be observed inside stabbing distance of Gauri in the CCTV footage. He fires another three shots
* Gauri loses her steadiness (possibly because of the bullet accidents) and begins strolling backwards (prelude to collapsing)
* The killer then fires at her chest (the autopsy later revealed that the bullet pierced thru her heart causing quick death)
The pot-bellied killer is in fact dressed in a backpack on the entrance aspect (to throw police off track; he doesn't remove his helmet either). As soon as Gauri collapses, he escapes. After 30 seconds, another head lamp shines on the car. Police imagine the killer backed up his two-wheeler and then accelerated which is why there is a 30-second lag; they are certain that there used to be just one killer on one motorbike (and now not three killers as native residents reported previous).
However, mavens say that it will be difficult to draw a cartoon of the killer from the grainy footage as he did a just right process of hiding his identity.
The other clue that that police had been banking on - CCTV footage from cameras along Gauri's course - has additionally turned out to be a damp squib. Gauri did not take the course this is dotted with CCTV cameras. Instead, she weaved thru smaller lanes to avoid site visitors. Unfortunately, there are rarely any cameras along these lanes.
The police are now hoping for a miracle - possibly some resident or shopkeeper would possibly turn over the most important footage that may be trapped in their cameras. From her Gandhi Bazaar place of work, Gauri handed thru Dodda Ganapathi Temple; then she headed in opposition to Giri Nagar by the use of Hanumanth Nagar; then she reached Muneshwara Block and then reached with regards to Mysor Road; then she took another internal lane and emerged with regards to her space, keeping off the site visitors at Rajarajeshwari Nagar Arch.
The police traced her course thru various tower locations as her cell phone used to be active as she used to be using. According to a senior officer, the weapon used in the murder is either of Indian or international make and now not a country-made one as thought previous. "We are awaiting the final forensic report on the weapon," the officer stated. Despite the vehement denials through former Naxalites who have now joined the mainstream, the police have now not dominated out the function of ultra-Leftists in Gauri's murder. In fact, SIT officials had been passed various tasks through IGP BK Singh. One of the the most important tasks is that of coordinating with neighbouring states as some Naxals are active in Andhra. The SIT officials have drawn up a listing of 7 suspects (each Naxals and right-wingers) whom they plan to question soon. According to an officer, "there are more Naxal suspects than right-wingers".
