Vijayapura: The key men accused in the journalist Gauri Lankesh murder case were given a rousing welcome by some Hindutva activists on their arrival in their hometown here.
Parashuram Waghmore and Manohar Yadave were released along with six others on bail on October 9 by a trial court and were released from the jail on October 11.
They all spent over six years behind bars.
On their arrival, Hindutva activists Saturday night took them to a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s statue where they were welcomed with saffron shawls and garland to the shouts of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Sanatana Dharma Ki Jai’.
Gauri Lankesh, a left-leaning firebrand journalist, was shot dead on September 5, 2017, in the night outside her Rajarajeshwari Nagar residence.
