Indira Lankesh’s lawyer Shankarappa issued the notice to the Chamber which states Gauri’s killing is a sensitive issue and the family is personally and socially devastated. It is not right to make a film on the subject with a profit motivation. It is a sad proposition. Gauri and her paper are precious to the family and others are not welcome into it. If in case somebody makes a film based on Gauri’s life and assassination, a defamation case of Rs 10 crore will be filed against such a person, says the notice.
