Right-winger Sachin Andure, who allegedly killed social crusader Dr Narendra Dabholkar, has told investigators that he would call fellow suspect Dr Virendra Tawde by the code name 'Bhaijaan'. Tawde was arrested earlier by the CBI in the case and is suspected to be one of the main conspirators.

The code names were used in communication to ensure that even if their messages were intercepted, no one would be able to interpret them. This is why despite Tawde's arrest in 2016, Andure was only arrested only two years later. Sources said there were many such code words that are being de-coded now to unravel the conspiracy. Sources said that so far, it seems Andure and Sharad Kalaskar were the shooters. Kalaskar is in the custody of the ATS in the Nalasopara-Pune arms haul case, and it was based on his information that CBI arrested Andure for the Dabholkar killing on Aug 20, 2013. The CBI will also arrest Kalaskar once the ATS custody ends.
