Certain organisations must be backing them, helping them financially. These incidents were well planned,&#8221; Justice Dharmadhikari noted after perusing the probe reports submitted by the state CID and the CBI in Pansare and Dabholkar murder cases respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that Sarang Akolkar and Vinay Pawar, the two men identified by the CBI as those who allegedly gunned down Dabholkar in 2013, were still to be traced, the court said the agency must &#8220;look beyond its current line of probe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a clear nexus between the two murders. These men must have some roots in the society. Coordinate with the state CID, use modern technology, look at bank transactions, ATM withdrawals, check rail bookings, there are just four or five states with porous borders to which these men could have fled,&#8221; Justice Dharmadhikari said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is impossible for someone to remain in hiding for so long in today&#8217;s time,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench also directed the two probe agencies to take note of the above suggestions and submit fresh progress reports by the next date of hearing on September 13.<\/p>\n<p>It directed the petitioners, the family members of the deceased rationalists, to submit an affidavit listing their demand that the state Home secretary and the CBI director be made directly accountable for the probe.<\/p>\n<p>Both the probe agencies, meanwhile, said they were hunting for the killers.<\/p>\n<p>Dabholkar was shot dead on August 20, 2013 in Pune while he was on a morning walk.<\/p>\n<p>Pansare was shot at on February 16, 2015 in Kolhapur and succumbed to his injuries on February 20 that year.<\/p>\n<p>The high court has been hearing petitions filed by the kin of the two seeking court monitored investigations in both the cases.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The killings of rationalists Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare were &#8220;well planned&#8221; and the perpetrators had organisational backup, the Bombay High Court said today, and asked the investigators to look beyond their current line of probe to apprehend the culprits.
