Mohan Nayak

Mohan Nayak N, the 11th accused in the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh, has been granted bail by the High Court of Karnataka.

A man accused in the 2017 murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh will face tougher charges of organised crime, the Supreme Court ruled today, cancelling a Karnataka High Court order.

Supreme Court "tentatively" indicated that it is inclined to set aside a part of the high court order quashing the charge sheet against an accused, allegedly involved in the murder of Gauri Lankesh, for the purported offences under KCOCA.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that the bail plea of one of the Gauri Lankesh murder accused - Mohan Nayak - should be decided uninfluenced by a Karnataka High Court verdict that dropped KCOCA charges against him.
