Narendra Dabholkar, the Indian anti-superstition activist, who was campaigning for a law to ban black magic, has been shot dead in the city of Pune.
Dabholkar and his committee (Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti) was particularly well-known for openly criticising some of India's so-called "godmen", the self-styled Hindu ascetics who claim to perform miracles and are revered by many. He also campaigned against animal sacrifices used in certain rituals.
