Bombay High Court Grants Bail to Convict Sachin Andure in Dabholkar Murder Case
The Bombay High Court granted bail to Sachin Andure, convicted in the 2013 murder of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar, and suspended his life sentence pending appeal. Andure, also facing trial for activist Govind Pansare's killing, joins co-convict Sharad Kalaskar, who received bail earlier this year. The court expressed doubts about witness identification procedures used by the CBI. Dabholkar was shot by two assailants in Pune, with investigations transferred to the CBI in 2014 following a petition by his daughter, who alleges a larger conspiracy behind the murder.
