Primary reports have suggested that the modus operandi for the attack was similar to that of the assassination of anti superstition activist, Dr Narendra Dabholkar in August 2013.

Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports on the attack on Pansare and his wife by some un-identified persons in Kolhapur on Monday.

It has issued notices to the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police demanding reports within four weeks.
