Names of Politician BT Lalitha Naik, Rationalist CS Dwarakanath and Pontiff Veerabhadra Channamalla appeared in it. Several attempts were made to get rid of them since 2016. Around 50 sharp shooters were hired to accomplish the mission.

Girish Karnad never hesitated to criticize the Hindutva ideology and rights-wing extremism. His security has been beefed up since the murder of Gauri Lankesh. When his opinion was sought on the hit-list, He claimed to be least bothered about such stuff.
