==Assassination==
On 16 February 2015, at 9:25am, Pansare and his wife Uma were returning from their morning walk from their society. Two men on a motorcycle shot five times at them at a close range outside their house. Pansare was injured in his [[nape]] and chest.

Both were taken to the Aster Aadhar Hospital by their daughter-in-law and grandsons.

On 20 February 2015, Pansare was [[airlift]]ed to the [[Breach Candy Hospital]] after he reported a swelling in his lungs. On the same day, Pansare succumbed to his injuries at the [[Breach Candy Hospital]].

===Reactions===
After the attack, [[Maharashtra]] [[Chief Minister]], [[Devendra Fadnavis]], said the police were trying to apprehend the attackers and road blocks had been established.<ref name=ShotAt/> Hamid Dabholkar, son of murdered activist [[Narendra Dabholkar]], said that if police solved that case, it would have acted as a deterrent and Pansare would not have been attacked.<ref name=Hamid>{{cite news|title=Dabholkar's son slams Maha govt over attack on Pansare|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/dabholkar-s-son-slams-maha-govt-over-attack-on-pansare-115021701171_1.html|accessdate=13 April 2015|work=[[Business Standard]]|date=17 February 2015}}</ref> [[Sharad Pawar]], leader of [[Nationalist Congress Party]], said this was an attempt to silence the people who speak against [[extremist]]s. [[Manikrao Thakre]], an [[Indian National Congress]] leader, said that the attacks on Dabholkar and Pansare were a bad sign for the freedom of speech in Maharashtra state.<ref name=reminiscent>{{cite news|title=Attack on Govind Pansare reminiscent of Dabholkar's murder, say activists|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/attack-on-govind-pansare-reminiscent-of-dabholkars-murder-say-activists/15995171|accessdate=13 April 2015|work=[[Mid-Day]]|date=17 February 2015}}</ref> After Pansare's death, the sales of his books increased.<ref name=3000copies/><ref name=BookDemand/>

On the other hand, the Additional Director General of Police, K. L. Bishnoi, said that there were no connections between the Dabholkar and Pansare case, except that both of them were morning walkers. Hamid Dabholkar criticised the statement pointing out both Dabholkar and Pansare were rationalists and opponents of [[right-wing extremism]], and had been threatened several times.<ref name=Bishnoi>{{cite news|title=Hamid Dabholkar criticizes Bishnoi's remarks|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolhapur/Hamid-Dabholkar-criticizes-Bishnois-remarks/articleshow/46328853.cms|accessdate=13 April 2015|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=22 February 2015}}</ref>

===Investigation===
On 16 February 2015, after the attack, an [[attempted murder]] was filed in the [[Rajarampuri]] police station. The police said that no eyewitnesses had come forward and they were checking the [[CCTV]] footages from the area.<ref name=PansareWifeShot/> [[B. G. Kolse Patil]], a retired judge, said that in December 2014, Pansare had received threats after he organised an event. At the event there was a discussion about the book ''Who killed Karkare?''. The book was written by a retired policeman, S. M. Mushrif.<ref name=PansareWifeShot/><ref name=TwoMurder/>

On 18 February 2015, an activist, Ketan Tirodkar, filed a [[Public Interest Litigation]] (PIL) in the [[Bombay High Court]] claiming that police had known about threats to his life and had failed to act. He also pointed out the similarities to [[Narendra Dabholkar]]'s murder.<ref name=GovindPil>{{cite news|title=State knew of threat to Govind Pansare: PIL|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/state-knew-of-threat-to-govind-pansare-pil/|accessdate=13 April 2015|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=13 April 2015}}</ref> On 22 February, the police announced a reward of INR 5,00,000 for information leading to the capture of the attackers.<ref name=5LakhPansare>{{cite news|title=Rs 5 lakh bounty for killers of Pansare|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/rs-5-lakh-bounty-for-killers-of-pansare/article6921960.ece|accessdate=13 April 2015|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=22 February 2015}}</ref> On 28 February, the [[Ballistic fingerprinting|ballistic report]] said that five bullets from two [[revolver]]s were fired at Pansare.

On 4 March 2015, the police said that they prepared [[police sketch|sketch]]es, which they showed to his wife. By this time the reward money had been increased five-fold, from Rupees 5 lakh to Rupees 25 lakh.<ref name=Sketches>{{cite news|title=Sketches of Pansare's assailants ready|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/mumbai/pansare-murder-police-prepare-sketches-of-suspects/article6959229.ece|accessdate=13 April 2015|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=4 March 2015}}</ref> Due to a fractured skull, his wife had trouble recollecting the event.<ref name=Help/>

On 15 March, Uma Pansare was interviewed by the police. She said the attackers were two young men on a motorcycle. One of them had asked for the directions to a house in Marathi, "More kuthe rahtat?" (Where does More live?). Govind Pansare replied that he did not know any such person. The person riding pillion began laughing. Then when the shooting started Uma Pansare fainted. She could not recall the make of the motorcycle or their faces.<ref name=UmaTells>{{cite news|title=Assailants were young, spoke in Marathi, Uma Pansare tells police|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolhapur/Assailants-were-young-spoke-in-Marathi-Uma-Pansare-tells-police/articleshow/46576728.cms|accessdate=14 April 2015|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=15 March 2015}}</ref> On 16 March 2015, another left-wing leader, [[Bharat Patankar]], received a similar threat letter.

===Arrests===
On 16 September 2015, one Sameer Gaikwad, 32, was arrested from [[Sangli]]. According to the police, Gaikwad owned a mobile repair shop and was a member of the [[Sanatan Sanstha]] group since 1998.<ref name=NDTV-arrest>{{cite news|title=Rightwing Activist Arrested for Rationalist Govind Pansare's Murder|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/rationalist-govind-pansares-murder-case-solved-police-make-arrest-1218174|accessdate=7 October 2015|work=[[NDTV]]|date=16 September 2015}}</ref><ref name=NDTV-FourMore/> The police said that the Gaikwad resembled one of the person captured on the CCTV footage and so they had started tapping his phone. The arrests came after Gaikwad allegedly boasted about the murder to a female friend on the phone.<ref name=NDTV-boast>{{cite news|title=Boasts to Friends Nailed Suspect in Govind Pansare's Murder, Say Police|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/boasts-to-friends-nailed-suspect-in-govind-pansares-murder-say-police-1218757|accessdate=7 October 2015|work=[[NDTV]]|date=17 September 2015}}</ref> One 17 September 2015, the police arrested four more persons - a woman from Mumbai, presumed to be Gaikwad's girlfriend; a man from [[Pune]]; and two men from [[Goa]].<ref name=NDTV-FourMore>{{cite news|title=Four More People Detained In Rationalist Govind Pansare's Murder|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/four-more-people-detained-in-rationalist-govind-pansares-murder-1218580|accessdate=7 October 2015|work=[[NDTV]]|date=17 September 2015}}</ref><ref name=NDTV-boast/>

On 20 September 2015, [[Maharashtra Police|Maharashtra]] and [[Karnataka Police]] began a joint [[manhunt (law enforcement)|manhunt]] for a man called Rudra Patil. Patil was also a [[Sanatan Sanstha]] member and is an accused in the 2009 Goa blast case.<ref name=NDTV-manhunt>{{cite news|title=Police Identify Prime Accused in Govind Pansare's Murder, Manhunt Begins|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/police-identify-prime-accused-in-govind-pansares-murder-manhunt-begins-1219700|accessdate=7 October 2015|work=[[NDTV]]|date=20 September 2015}}</ref>

During investigation [[Maharashtra Police|Maharashtra]] found that Sameer Gaikwad was in different city ([[Thane]]) around the time of the murder of Govind Pansare.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/pansare-killing-gaikwad-was-in-thane-around-time-of-murder-phone-records-suggest-complicity-prosecution/ |title=Pansare killing- Gaikwad was in Thane around time of murder, phone records suggest complicity: Prosecution|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|date =24 Sep 2015}}</ref> During police investigation no evidence could be found against Sameer Gaikwad or Sanatan Sanstha in the assassination of Govind Pansare. Minister of state for home Mr. Ranjit Patil also confirmed this.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.asianage.com/mumbai/mos-ranjit-patil-refuses-blame-sameer-gaikwad-972 |title=MoS Ranjit Patil refuses to blame Sameer Gaikwad|newspaper=[[The Asian Age]]|date =8 Oct 2015}}</ref> Further to this court also rejected request of brainmapping / [[Lie detection]] test of Sameer Gaikwad.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/pansare-murder-court-says-no-to-brainmapping-test-on-gaikwad/ |title=Pansare murder: Court says no to brainmapping test on Gaikwad|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|date =10 Oct 2015}}</ref>

[[Karnataka Police]] could not find any evidence against Sameer Gaikwad on his role in the [[M. M. Kalburgi]] murder. Hence, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) decided not to file a petition seeking custody of Sameer Gaikwad.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/CID-Officer-Dont-See-Gaikwad-Link-in-Kalburgi-Case-Wont-Seek-Custody/2015/10/16/article3082534.ece |title=CID Officer: Don't See Gaikwad Link in Kalburgi Case, Won't Seek Custody|newspaper=[[The New Indian Express]]|date =17 Oct 2015}}</ref>
