"Preliminary investigation reveals that around 8 am the neighbours heard a cracker-like sound, and when they went out, they saw Gauri lying on the floor. Immediately, they informed the police. The forensic team went there and collected a lot of evidence. We could also get the CCTV footage, which shows that as soon as she opens the gate of her car, a person wearing a helmet comes and fires on her and runs away. There were four rounds of firing out of which three hit her," Kumar said.
He further said that people, who are expressing happiness over Lankesh's murder and flaring up communal disharmony on Facebook are being investigated as well.
