Over five years later, Forbidden Stories pursued Lankesh&amp;rsquo;s work on fake news and explored new leads in her murder case&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On September 5, 2017, as 55-year-old journalist Gauri Lankesh walked up to the entryway of her house, the cracks of four gunshots echoed through the neighborhood. The first shot hit Lankesh below her right shoulder on her back. Two bullets lodged in her abdomen, piercing her vital organs, while a fourth ricocheted off the wall of her house. A motorcyclist and his accomplice fled the scene. Lankesh died instantly. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lankesh&amp;rsquo;s murder soon sent shockwaves across India. Within a couple of years, police investigators arrested 17 suspects, all associated with the Hindu nationalist cult Sanatan Sanstha, its affiliate Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) and other fringe religious groups. (An 18th suspect is still at-large.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Forbidden Stories, whose mission is to continue the work of threatened, imprisoned or assassinated journalists, pursued Lankesh&amp;rsquo;s unfinished work. Starting from Lankesh&amp;rsquo;s premise &amp;ndash; that disinformation has become both industrial and weaponized. Lankesh, who described herself as a journalist-activist, saw combating fake news spread by the BJP as part of a larger battle against the Indian far-right, colleagues said. &amp;ldquo;The magazine that she was editing for more than a decade was working against [communal disharmony],&amp;rdquo; Dr HV Vasu, a colleague, told Forbidden Stories, referring to inter-religious conflict in India. &amp;ldquo;So fighting fake news was very much integral to that.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even in her early years running the Patrike, Lankesh&amp;rsquo;s writing underscored the harm of politicians manipulating information. In another article debunking a viral rumor, she referred to &amp;ldquo;the fake &amp;lsquo;facts&amp;rsquo; of history,&amp;rdquo; alluding to claims that a former ruler from the region had attempted to forcibly convert Hindus to Islam.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The first shot hit Lankesh below her right shoulder on her back. Two bullets lodged in her abdomen, piercing her vital organs, while a fourth ricocheted off the wall of her house. A motorcyclist and his accomplice fled the scene. Lankesh died instantly. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lankesh&amp;rsquo;s murder soon sent shockwaves across India. Within a couple of years, police investigators arrested 17 suspects, all associated with the Hindu nationalist cult Sanatan Sanstha, its affiliate Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) and other fringe religious groups.

Lankesh, who described herself as a journalist-activist, saw combating fake news spread by the BJP as part of a larger battle against the Indian far-right, colleagues said. &amp;ldquo;The magazine that she was editing for more than a decade was working against [communal disharmony],&amp;rdquo; Dr HV Vasu, a colleague, told Forbidden Stories, referring to inter-religious conflict in India. &amp;ldquo;So fighting fake news was very much integral to that.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even in her early years running the Patrike, Lankesh&amp;rsquo;s writing underscored the harm of politicians manipulating information.

In the Age of False News: a Murdered Journalist and an Unfinished Investigation in India - Forbidden Stories

In 2017, journalist Gauri Lankesh was assassinated in Bangalore days before she planned to publish an article about disinformation. Over five years later, Forbidden Stories pursued Lankesh’s work on fake news and explored new leads in her murder case Phineas Rueckert & Srishti Jaswal - Forbidden Stories Oishika Neogi - Confluence Media Prajwal Bhat - Newsminute Laura Höflinger - Der Spiegel  On September 5, 2017, as 55-year-old journalist Gauri Lankesh walked up to the entryway of her house, the cracks of four gunshots echoed through the neighborhood. The first shot hit Lankesh below her right shoulder on her back. Two bullets lodged in her abdomen, piercing her vital organs, while a fourth ricocheted off the wall of her house. A motorcyclist and his accomplice fled the scene. Lankesh died instantly.   Lankesh’s murder soon sent shockwaves across India. Within a couple of years, police investigators arrested 17 suspects, all associated with the Hindu nationalist cult Sanatan Sanstha, its affiliate Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) and other fringe religious groups. (An 18th suspect is still at-large.)  Forbidden Stories, whose mission is to continue the work of threatened, imprisoned or assassinated journalists, pursued Lankesh’s unfinished work. Starting from Lankesh’s premise – that disinformation has become both industrial and weaponized. Lankesh, who described herself as a journalist-activist, saw combating fake news spread by the BJP as part of a larger battle against the Indian far-right, colleagues said. “The magazine that she was editing for more than a decade was working against [communal disharmony],” Dr HV Vasu, a colleague, told Forbidden Stories, referring to inter-religious conflict in India. “So fighting fake news was very much integral to that.” Even in her early years running the Patrike, Lankesh’s writing underscored the harm of politicians manipulating information. In another article debunking a viral rumor, she referred to “the fake ‘facts’ of history,” alluding to claims that a former ruler from the region had attempted to forcibly convert Hindus to Islam.  Please click here to read the report
