55 years old Journalist-turned-activist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead by three men on bike outside her residence in Rajarajeshwarinagar, West Bengaluru on Tuesday night.
Reports say that three men on a motor bike opened at least seven rounds of fire on Gauri when she was opening the main door of her house. Gauri's head, neck, and chest received three bullets while rest of the four hit the walls. Police declared that she died instantly on the spot.
According to neighbours, Gauri was returning from her office when the murder took place.
"Usually, she would drive back home late night. At around 8pm today, we heard gun shots and rushed out. For a few minutes, we could not understand what had happened. Then we realized that Gauri had been shot at and saw her lying in a pool of blood near the door," neighbours said.
Senior police officials including city police commissioner T Suneel Kumar rushed to the spot and said that three special teams will be formed to nab the assailants.
