A Maharashtra police officer who was in service in 2013 had provided training to the two shooters who are accused of killing rationalist Narendra Dabholkar in Pune.
Sources say the shooters Sarang Akolkar and Rudra Patil were trained for a week in Goa and Sangli.
The training is alleged to have taken place in Maharashtra's Jat town in Sangli and Goa's Ponda.
Akolkar and Patil were also accused of being involved in the 2009 Madgaon blast case.
The sketch of the shooters released by the police matches with Akolkar.
Meanwhile, Sanatan Sanstha member Virendra Tawade who is believed to be the mastermind behind Dabholkar's murder, is not cooperating with the CBI.
Tawde who was receiving Rs 6000 as honorarium from Sanatan Sanstha may be subjected to narco analysis, brain mapping and polygraph test to ascertain his role in the crime.
CBI is also likely to question Tawde's wife, a Sanatan Sanstha member who is currently in London and will return on June 20.
CBI has also examined witnesses in the murder case of another rationalist Govind Pansare for the Dabholkar investigation.
Samir Gaikwad who was earlier arrested in the Pansare murder case was one of the accused examined by the CBI.
Dabholkar was murdered on 20 August, 2013 while taking a morning walk in Pune by two unidentified gunmen.
Pansare and Kalburgi were also shot at in a similar way outside their homes on 16 February and 30 August, 2015 respectively.
