Govind Pansare Dead

It has been three months since journalist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead outside her house in Bengaluru and yet, there have been no arrests for the killing. Her name now seems to be a sad addition to the roll-call of unsolved murders of people - Narendra Dhabolkar, Govind Pansare and MM Kalburgi - widely believed were killed for the views they had.

Days after CBI arrested a right-wing activist in connection with Narendra Dabholkar murder case, family members of Govind Pansare on Thursday demanded Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to transfer the case of the CPI veteran's killing too to the central agency for a speedy probe.

Medha Pansare, daughter-in-law of rationalist and CPI leader Govind Pansare who was shot dead last year, has sought cancellation of the transfer of the officer investigating the case stating that it would "adversely impact" the probe.

Sameer Gaikwad, arrested in the murder case of rationalist Govind Panasare, today claimed that an unidentified person tried to pressurise him to agree for a narco-analysis test.

The ongoing investigation in the Govind Pansare murder case should not become a context for maligning Hindutva, the Shiv Sena has said while holding that the accusations against the outfit 'Sanatan Sanstha', under scanner in the case, are "laughable."

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will personally monitor the probe into the death of 77-year-old Professor MM Kalburgi, a well-known rationalist, who was shot dead on August 20 at his home in Dharwad. The chief minister has also announced a cash reward for Rs five lakh for any information that leads to the arrest of the killers.

Three days after renowned scholar MM Kalburgi was shot dead at his home in Karnataka, there have been no arrests and the police have still not started on the very basics of a murder investigation.

Hundreds of people poured into a college in Karnataka today to pay tribute to renowned scholar MM Kalburgi, who was shot dead at the doorstep of his home in Dharwad city on Sunday morning.

Former Vice-Chancellor of Hampi University MM Kalburgi was shot dead at his Kalyanagar residence here this morning by unidentified gunmen, police said.

The Kolhapur Police have released two sketches believed to be the killers of Govind Pansare. The veteran communist leader was shot dead on February 16 this year while he was on his morning walk in Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
