The Bombay High Court on Friday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Maharashtra Crime Investigation Department to state clearly when their inquiries into the murders of activists Govind Pansare and Narendra Dabholkar would finish, reported PTI.
The Maharashtra CID is conducting an inquiry into the killing of rationalist and Communist Party of India leader Govind Pansare in 2015, and the CBI is investigating the 2013 murder of anti-superstition activist Dabholkar.
The High Court was hearing petitions filed by the relatives of Dabholkar and Pansare seeking a court monitoring of the two investigations. The petitions were not taken up for over a year, according to
