Dr. Narendra Dabholkar (67), rationalist and founder of Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (MANS), was shot dead on 20 August 2013, by two unidentified gunmen on a bridge near Omkareshwar temple.

On August 19, Andhure was arrested by the Maharashtra ATS which handed him over to CBI. Andhure is currently in magisterial custody.
