History

Historical Context

Gauri Lankesh, a Kannada journalist critical of Hindutva, was shot dead on 5 September 2017 in Bangalore, prompting nationwide protests including a rally of over 25,000 people. The Karnataka government responded on 8 September 2017 with a monetary reward for information, reflecting a pattern of cash incentives in high-profile cases. Nagpur authorities echo this approach today by denying bail to three suspects and offering a INR50,000 reward.
