Communist Party of India (CPI) senior leader comrade Govind Pansare (83) was shot at in February 2016 when he was coming back home with his wife Uma (75) from their morning walk in Sagar Mahal in Kolhapur. Two motorcycle-borne assailants had fired five rounds at Pansare and escaped. Pansare was airlifted to a Mumbai based hospital where he succumbed after four days while undergoing treatment.
