In a major crackdown, the police have detained four more people in connection with the murder of rationalist Govind Pansare.

Reportedly, one woman has been detained in Mumbai, a man from Pune and two from Goa. The detained were allegedly in touch with Sameer Gaikwad, an activist of the right-wing group Sanatan Sansthan who was arrested on 16 September from Sangli.

Pansare, who was a communist and a rationalist, was shot near his residence along with his wife, in Kolhapur on 16 February this year. Pansare succumbed to his injuries four days later.
