After nearly three years of trial, a Pune court on Friday convicted two persons and acquitted three others in the murder of anti-superstition activist Narendra Achyut Dabholkar.
Dabholkar, 67, a well-known social activist, writer and rationalist, was shot dead on August 20, 2013, by two motorcycle-borne assailants on the Omkareshwar bridge near Pune’s Shanivar Peth area when he was out on a morning walk.
