Responding to reports that suggest that he is being targeted by veteran journalist Gauri Lankesh’s killers, actor Prakash Raj on Thursday said that he is “not threatened” and that his voice would only grow stronger and that they wouldn’t manage to get away by playing cheap hate politics. According to an investigation that is being conducted by the SIT probing the Gauri Lankesh murder case, which was shared on a local Kannada news channel, Raj was the next target of Lankesh’s killers, after he had taken to criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP on public platforms. Meanwhile, KT Naveen Kumar, the first person to be arrested for Lankesh’s murder, has agreed to undergo a narco-analysis test as asked by the SIT probing the case. Naveen Kumar’s advocate Vedamurthy said an application would be submitted to this effect before the additional chief metropolitan magistrate’s court. Making submissions before the court, Vedamurthy alleged that SIT had taken Kumar for a narco-analysis test in Gujarat, but it did not inform him, according to the court’s directions.
