After months of speculation, waiting and protests demanding faster action, the Pune police have claimed that they have made a breakthrough in the murder of rationalist Dr Narendra Dabholkar, who was shot dead in Pune several months ago. The anti-superstition campaigner was gunned down at Omkareshwar Bridge in Shaniwar Peth in Pune on August 20.

On Monday evening, cops arrested illegal arms dealer Rajubhai alias Manish Ramvilas Nagori (24) and his associate Vikas Ramavatar Khandelwal (22), in connection with the murder. The police believe that Nagori provided the weapons to the killers who gunned down Dabholkar.
