THE END OF COURTEOUS MAN








         The Central Bureau of Investigation  made its first arrest in the Narendra Dabholkar murder case on Friday. Dr Virendra Tawade of Hindu Janjagruti Samiti was arrested in connection with the case.
The CBI had taken over this case in May 2014 on the directions of the Bombay High Court. Dabholkar, a rationalist and an anti-superstition activist who had founded the Maharashtra Andhashradhha Unmoolan Samiti, was shot dead on August 20, 2013 while he was on a morning walk on the Omkareshwar bridge near the Balgandharva Rangamandir.
Dabholkar was 68 at the time of his death. He was the influence behind the anti-superstition bill which was pending in Maharashtra Assembly for 18 years
On May 10, 2014, the court transferred Dabholkar’s case from Pune Police to CBI. However, the probe moved in the same fashion for about a year. In July 2015, Dabholkar’s family members approached the court requesting it to monitor the CBI probe.
In May 2016, the Court again pulled up CBI for ‘shoddy’ investigation in the case after which it began fresh searches in Panvel and Pune. The Pune residence of Sarang Akolkar, an activist of Sanatan Sanstha also wanted in the 2009 Goa blast case, and the Panvel residence of Dr Virendra Tawde, who works as a medical officer for the Hindu outfit, were searched.
            The case is still an mystery. A man walking on a road was suddenly shot but no one could recognise them. He was a slight and courteous man,with unfashionable spectacles,in simple khadi shirt,slippers and cotton trousers:no one to notice on the street.When he was shot he had no intentions of offering a garland there,saying a prayer,pressing a coin in priest's hand or adoring the SHIVA LINGA. He did not believe in such behaviour.Infact, it appaled him; and he had hoped to spread his thoughts through the state of Maharashtra.
          How the world could be so cruel to a person who has sacrificed his own life for the betterment of society. I really don't know where this world is heading towards. The man who made this country free from BLACK MAGIC  was killed and its darkness took over his life.Naturally,he was also dedicated  to non-violence.His critics accused him of wanting to destroy all religion;but even its idols he treated with respect.There was no other way,he said.In this,as in human rationality,he had unshakebale belief.His enemies did.
