The Karnataka government formed a SIT headed by inspector general of police BK Singh to probe the killing that led to outrage and protests across the country.
Addressing a press conference, Singh said the investigation team could not ascertain the religion of the suspects “by external appearances like tilak or earrings” as they could be a deliberate ploy to mislead the probe.
He said officials investigated about 200-250 people in connection with the case.
People close to Lankesh, like her brother Indrajit who had a falling out with her in 2005 over the functioning of Lankesh Patrike, and Maoist leaders who have come above ground, were questioned in the case.
