Pune, Jan. 21 -- Sameer Gaikwad, one of the accused in the murder of Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Govind Pansare, died in Sangli on Tuesday. The police said Gaikwad suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to a civil hospital, where doctors declared him dead. He had been unwell for the past few days. The cause of death will be confirmed after the post-mortem examination. Gaikwad was allegedly associated with the Sanatan Sanstha and was named as an accused in the murder of Pansare, which took place in February 2015 in Kolhapur. Pansare and his wife, Uma, were shot at by two persons while returning home after a morning walk. Pansare succumbed to his injuries. During the investigation, police identified Gaikwad's alleged role in the case and arrested him at his residence in Sangli in September 2015. In 2017, a court granted bail to Gaikwad, after which he was living with his family in the Vikas Chowk area of Sangli city. As part of his bail conditions, he was required to report to the local police station once a week. Cops said Gaikwad had also filed a discharge application to drop him from the case, which was pending. The investigation was later transferred to the SIT under the supervision of the Additional Director General of Police (CID), Maharashtra. Dissatisfied with the lack of progress in tracing the shooters, Pansare's family had sought the case's transfer to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS)....
