The first week of the trial in the Gauri Lankesh murder case ended on Friday and the case is posted for continuation of the trial for another week from August 8 to 13.
The first week saw the complainant in the case, Kavita Lankesh, sister of the slain journalist-activist, depose before the court and state that Gauri had told her about unidentified men suspiciously loitering around her house a week before she was killed. Ms. Kavita Lankesh denied any property dispute in the family or threats to Gauri from naxals, answering to specific allegations by the defence counsels.
