Same modus operandiMotorcycle-borne assailants had killed Dr. Dabholkar on August 20, 2013 with a 7.65-mm country-made pistol when he was taking his morning stroll on the Omkareshwar Bridge in Pune.

Hamid Dabholkar said that the assassination has not deterred the activities of the MANS but has spurred the work of eradicating superstition and building a progressive society.
