"Our team has been at Sanatan Sanstha's ashram in Goa for the last two days and have been questioning many people at the ashram," state CID chief Sanjay Kumar told PTI.

He did not give more details.

Govind Pansare, a CPI leader and well-known rationalist, was shot dead outside his house in Kolhapur in February 2015.
