Contacts With Hindu Mahasabha
Madan Lal came in contact with Vishnu Karkare of Hindu Mahasabha through Dada Maharaj. He started a fruit stall in Ahmednagar sponsored by Vishnu Karkare, whom called as Karkare Seth. Karkare took him to Pune and introduced him to Narayan Apte and Nathuram Godse. Till then he had come in the police records for his Hindu nationalist stance. He was kept under overnight detention for rushing to the podium and snatching the microphone from Congress leader Rao Saheb Patwardhan at Ahmednagar. The incident occurred on 5 January 1948.
On 9 January 1948, Police Inspector Razak recommended for the arrest of Madan Lal Pahwa and Vishnu Karkare. However, the warrants were issued only on 12 January 1948 and by that time they had left Ahmednagar for Delhi to carry out their mission with other members.
