The Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the murder case of veteran CPI leader Govind Pansare arrested three more suspects on Friday. The police team arrested Sachin Andhure from Pune’s Yerwada jail and the other two suspects Amit Baddi and Ganesh Miskin were picked up from Mumbai's Arthur Road jail. Andhure is also a key suspect in Dr Narendra Dabholkar murder case. The police have arrested 12 people in the case so far.

A senior officer investigating the Pansare murder case told Mid-Day on condition of anonymity, “Andhure is also involved in Dr Dabholkar murder case. The three are connected to right-wing outfit ideology. Andhure was lodged in Pune’s Yerawada central prison while Baddi and Miskin were at Aurthur Road jail in Mumbai. Based on some clues that have come up during the investigation, we needed their custody to get some vital information." The three arrested suspects will be produced in Kolhapur court on Friday.
