BBC: “The Indian state of Maharashtra has enacted emergency laws banning black magic and superstition, one day after a prominent campaigner was killed.
Anti-superstition activist Narendra Dabholkar, 71, who campaigned for the law, was shot dead in the city of Pune on Tuesday by unidentified gunmen.
Many businesses closed to protest against his killing and chanting demonstrators marched through the city.
He spent decades campaigning against what he called “fraudulent” practices.
Critics accused him of being anti-religion in a country where mysticism and spirituality is venerated.
But in an interview with the Agence France-Presse news agency two years ago he rejected such charges.
“In the whole of the bill, there’s not a single word about God or religion. Nothing like that. The Indian constitution allows freedom of worship and nobody can take that away,” he said.
“This is about fraudulent and exploitative practices.””
