Dabholkar, who was at the forefront of a campaign to persuade the Maharashtra government to pass an anti-superstition and black magic bill, was shot dead on Tuesday by unknown assailants.

Pune Police Commissioner Gulabrao Pol, who confirmed Dabholkar’s death, told PTI that police were investigating the motive but no suspects have so far been identified.

Dabholkar spearheaded the Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti (Anti-Superstition movement) with the stated objective of changing social mindset and inculcating scientific temper.

Various organisations, including CPI(M) and CITU, took out a protest march in Nashik on Tuesday condemning the killing of Dabholkar.
