On 18 August 2018, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested one of the two gunmen who allegedly killed Narendra Dabholkar in 2013. Sachin Prakasrao Andure, who is believed to be one of the shooters who shot dead the MANS founder in Pune. 


Dabholkar's assassination was condemned by many political leaders and social activists. The Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had announced a reward of 1 million (US$14,000) to any person with information of the assailants. Furthermore, political parties called for a bandh (strike) in Pune on 21 August, and various institutions across Pune remained closed to protest Dabholkar's assassination.



A division bench of Justice S C Dharmadhikari and Justice Bharati Dangre said "World is watching India, to implement the Constitutional Values and ideals, enshrined in various provisions of the Constitution of India.
