Exactly five years after anti-superstition crusader Dr Narendra Dabholkar was gunned down in cold blood in Pune, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has nailed the man who pulled the trigger - Aurangabad resident Sachin Prakashrao Andure.

The breakthrough came during the questioning of the three people arrested last week for criminal conspiracy and planning to carry out bomb blasts to disrupt communal harmony. Sharad Kalaskar, who was arrested along with Vaibhav Raut, from Nalasopara, revealed Andure's name to the ATS.
