Bombay High Court, talking about the murder of senior journalist Gauri Lankesh of  Banglore, has said that it is an endangering instinct to eliminate all the opposition and liberal values – and it is going to tarnish the image of country. The bench of SC Dharmadhikari J. and Bharti Dangre J., hearing a writ petition, has commented so.

The writ petition has appealed with the court to investigate the monitoring of murder of elites Govind Pansare and Narendra Dabholkar. The Court said, “ The liberal values and the thoughts have no respect. The people are being targeted constantly for their liberal principles. Not only just thinkers, but also any person or the organization which believes in liberal principles can be target. It is like that, 'as if I’m opposed, I eliminate that opposing person'.”

The bench said, “The murder of all the oppositions is dangerous trend. It is tarnishing the image of country. The CBI and Maharashtra Crime Investigation Branch filed to the probe report to the court in connection with the murder of Dabholkar and Pansare respectively. The bench said that the officers’ progress to reach to solid conclusion has been failure so far. The bench has said that the investigating agency’s effort is real, but the fact is that the main accused is absconded and one more precious life is being targeted in a time interval.

The court said that one more precious life was killed, as a liberal thought woman journalist was murdered in an ill-fate incident in Bangalore

The bench said that the investigating agencies should change and rethink their investigating path and must use the technical equipment to catch the accused.
