Nathuram Godse, 39, the kills, a woman-hating failure in dozen trades – hanged; Vishnu Karkare, 34, anti Muslem proprietor of a tawdy traveler’ hotel – life imprisonment. Standing Shankar Kistaya, Badge’s servant – convicted, but acquitted on appeal; Gopal Goidse, 29, the Killer’s brother – life imprisonment; Madanlal Pashwa, 20, a Punjabi refugee who’d sworn to aceenge his mutilated father – life imprisonment; Digamber Badge, 37, the arms paddler who disguised himself as a holy man– turned state’s witness, released
