Morarji told Nagarvala "A person has just given me an information that the people who tried to kill Gandhi, hail from Bombay" Nagarvala was shocked "What?" Morarji added some spice by saying "The man further told me that Savarkar had given his blessings for this mission" Thus Nagarvala, who had no idea about the nature of this conspiracy, concentrated all his energy on Savarkar. He ordered a 24 hour vigil on Savarkar’s residence and did not bother to go after Vishnu, Narayan and Nathuram. This turned out to be the first lapse that resulted in the death of the Mahatma.
