Bengaluru, May 9: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has denied involvement of BJP MP candidate from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur in murder of Gauri Lankesh.

“SIT has not found in its investigation or mentioned in the charge sheet any link to Sadhvi Pragya, Malegaon blasts, Abhinav Bharat. There is no evidence to suggest the same. No documents purporting the same have been submitted to the Honpurable Court,” the SIT statement read.
