Dabholkar Murder Case: Pune Court to Pronounce Judgment on May 10

A special court in Pune (Maharashtra) is scheduled to deliver its final judgment in the Dr. Narendra Dabholkar murder case on May 10, as stated by special public prosecutor Prakash Suryawanshi.

Dr. Dabholkar was fatally shot by two motorcycle-borne assailants while on his morning walk on Omkareshwar bridge on August 20, 2013.

The Judge

“During the hearing, Additional Sessions Judge (special judge) A A Jadhav designated May 10 as the judgment date in the case,” noted special public prosecutor Prakash Suryawanshi.

CBI

Initially, the investigation was conducted by Pune police before being transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2014.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Virendrasinh Tawde, an ENT surgeon allegedly associated with Sanatan Sanstha, followed by alleged shooters Sachin Andure and Sharad Kalaskar. In 2019, the CBI filed a chargesheet against these three individuals, as well as advocate Sanjiv Punalekar and his assistant Vikram Bhave.

The CBI had also invoked the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) against the accused.

While Tawde, Andure, and Kalaskar remain in custody, Punalekar and Bhave are currently out on bail.
