New Delhi, June 29 (TIWN) The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought a response from the Karnataka government on an appeal filed by filmmaker Kavitha Lankesh, sister of journalist Gauri Lankesh, challenging the Karnataka High Court order quashing charges under the Karnataka Control of Organised Crimes Act (KCOCA) against one of the accused in the murder of her sister.

The plea claimed the investigation by SIT has revealed that Respondent No. 6, Mohan Nayak, is part of the syndicate led by Amol Kale which has committed multiple organized crimes apart from the murder of Gauri Lankesh.
