VIJAYAPURA/BELAGAVI : The Special Investigation Team (SIT) from Bengaluru along with Parshuram Waghmare, who is the prime accused in the Gauri Lankesh murder case, visited several spots at Jamboti of Khanapur jungles in Belagavi on late Thursday till Friday. Initially, the team took Waghmare for a medical examination, after which he was taken to some undisclosed place for inquiry.

Later they asked him to show the spots at Jamboti, where he underwent pistol firing training. After inspecting the spots, they took him to Ramnagar, which is located at the border of Khanapur taluk in Karwar district. On Friday, they once again took him to Jamboti, for collecting more inputs in connection to the case.

Sources informed that Waghmare had joined hands with the gang just a month before the murder of Gauri. He met them at Sindgi. The four-member gang had a meeting there before executing their plan. The main reason for choosing Waghmare was his love towards Hindutva ideology. It is said that the mastermind Amol Kale personally met the Waghmare at Sindgi and shared details with him about the plan. The team had also warned him to be cautious before and after the murder.
