A BIKE ride, a question, and four bullets - that is all it took for arrested right-wing sympathisers Sachin Andure and Sharad Kalaksar to gun down rationalist Dr Narendra Dabholkar in 2013. Weeks after his arrest, Andure finally revealed to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) earlier this week how he and Kalaskar carried out Dabholkar's murder and escaped without a trace.

Andure was arrested for Dabholkar's murder on August 18. Revealing the sequence leading up to Dabholkar's 2013 murder in Pune, he told the CBI he and Kalaskar fired two bullets each at Dabholkar; three hit him, while one misfired. Both of them were carrying guns.
