The CBI on Saturday remanded a Sanatan Sanstha activist Virendra Tawde to CBI custody till June 16 after her was arrested in connection with the murder a rationalist Narendra Dhabolkar from Pune.
Rationalist Narendra Dhabolkar was murdered on the morning of August 2013 in Pune.
Virendra Tawde who belongs to the Hindu Jan Jagruti group has been taken into custody but his role in the crime remains unclear.
Tawde was arrested by the CBI in Navi Mumbai.
Dr Narendra Dabholkar was shot dead by unidentified men who fled in a two wheeler post the incident.
The case was being probed by the Pune police & the Mumbai Police Crime Branch before being transferred to the CBI.
Expressing satisfaction over the arrest, Dhabolkar's wife Mukta asked the investigating agency to see if there is a common link between Dhabolkar's death and Govind Pansare's murder who was also killed in a similar fashion.
We need to look at the larger picture- the organisation the arrested man belongs to is the same outfit from where another arrest was made in the Pansare case. This link is important, "Dhabolkar's wife Mukta said.
Public Prosecutor expressed hope that the arrest in the Dabholkar murder might help further the investigation, although it was a bit delayed.
Sanathan Sanstha however defended Tawde and said that their member who is an ENT surgeon is a very polite person.
"We are very surprised and sad that a person like him has been arrested. But we believe in the justice system and most importatntly we believe in god that truth will prevail and Dr. Tawade will be declared innocent, " a spokesperson added.
