A special court in Bengaluru on Monday adjourned to September 14 the trial in the activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh murder case.
The trial was to resume on Monday, exactly five years after her assassination.
The case came up before an in-charge judge of the special court for Karnataka Control of Organised Crimes Act, (KCOCA) cases which is hearing the trial.
The KCOCA judge, who is on leave will return to duty on September 12, and will fix the dates of the trial on September 14.
The trail is being conducted for a week every month since July this year.
Gauri Lankesh was murdered outside her Rajarajeshwari Nagar residence on September 5, 2017.
