Sharad Kalaskar, an accused in the Dr Narendra Dabholkar murder case, was on Monday sent to judicial custody till September 29, for the investigation into his role in the murder.

Kalaskar was produced before Judicial Magistrate First Class SMA Sayeed's court for the remand hearing. CBI Counsel Vijaykumar Dhakane said Kalaskar had mentioned in his statement that four pistols were dismantled and thrown in creeks near Mumbai. Dhakane also said, "During interrogation, Kalaskar said he and Sachin Andure had never seen Dr Dabholkar, but had read a few articles about him in the newspaper published by Sanatan Sanstha. So, on the morning of August 20, someone who was walking by or following Dabholkar, signalled to the duo and then the shooter ran towards him. Kalaskar first fired two shots at Dabholkar and then Andure fired at him after which he collapsed."
