The NIA claimed: "Gorkhe, Gaichor and Jagtap underwent training related to the usage of weapons and explosives in the forest area."
The NIA alleged that in 2012, Gaichor and Gorkhe along with Rupali Jadhav, wife of Gorkhe, again visited the Korchi forest area and met Milind Teltumbde there.
"They stayed there for 20 days and discussed the furtherance in the urban areas," it said.
Teltumbde is the brother of Dalit scholar professor Anand Teltumbde, who is also accused in the Bhima Koregaon case and was arrested in April this year.
The NIA arrested Gorkhe and Gaichor on September 7 this year, while Jagtap was nabbed on September 8 under the UAPA and other sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
