After the deadly Boston Marathon bombings that shook America to the core and the subsequent events like the bomber elder  Tsarnaev's death while fighting the security agencies and the capture of fatally wounded younger Tsarnaev brother, Now, the case has some new names as potential collaborators. The names those were under FBI radar ,now booked for having a connection with the bomber brothers specially with  Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

They were perhaps Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s closest friends during his two years at college, an American classmate from high school and two Russian-speaking students from Kazakhstan. . They entertained Mr. Tsarnaev at their off-campus apartment, and he partied with them in New York. One of them lent even lent Mr. Tsarnaev a black BMW after he smashed his Honda Civic in an accident.

The two Kazakhs, Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, were charged on Wednesday with destroying evidence to obstruct the federal inquiry into the marathon bombings. Their American friend, Robel K. Phillipos, was charged with lying to impede the investigation. If the three men be found guilty, they would face potentially stiff penalties: up to five years in prison for the two Kazakhs, eight years for Mr. Phillipos and up to $250,000 fines for each of the three.

As of now, many people including the former classmates of  Tsarnaev brothers have confirmed that these three were indeed close and may have some valuable inputs to help security agencies understand the real motive and the preparations for the attack.
