Govind Pansare Shot

The man accused of killing rationalist Narendra Dabholkar in Pune six years ago, has told the Karnataka police how he shot the 67-year-old twice -- once in the head from behind, and when he fell, once above the right eye.

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.

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.

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.
