Anti-superstition activist Dabholkar shot dead in Pune; CM, Pawar condemn killing

Dabholkar was currently engaged in mobilising public opinion and holding discussions with Maharashtra government for passing an 'anti-superstition and black magic' law in the state legislature, opposed by certain sections of the society, including the Warkari sect.

The state government had agreed to pass the Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Bill in the legislature. It was supposed to get the state's approval in the last state assembly session, but it was withheld after the warkari sect raised objections.
