Zende, a retired Mumbai Assistant Commissioner of Police, had arrested Charles Sobhraj from Goa in 1986.

Another major lead came from telephone exchanges in Goa as in the 1980s international calls used to be made through the exchanges and Sobhraj used to talk to his wife from a Goa restaurant. “I was confident that if I spent enough time at the restaurant, I would bump into Charles Sobhraj as he loved his food and women. The retired cop got the first lead about Sobhraj from a hotel owner in Mumbai, who had kept the fake number plates of bikes used by Sobhraj. He will now go on to live the rest of his life freely with all the ‘bad’ money that he made,” said retired cop Madhukar Zende in an interview with News18. Zende was sent to Goa, where the police suspected Sobhraj was lurking, to apprehend him once more.
