Pune:
Maharashtra BJP MLC Yogesh Tilekar’s uncle was allegedly abducted and killed by unidentified persons in Pune district on Monday, a police official said.
The victim, Satish Wagh (55), was bundled into an SUV near Shewalwadi Chowk in Hadapsar area of Pune city by four to five persons when he was out on a morning walk, prompting police to form several teams to trace him.
Wagh was found murdered near Yavat on Pune-Solapur Highway in Pune district, around 40 kilometres from the spot he was abducted, said Additional Commissioner of Police Manoj Patil.
“There were multiple injuries on his body. Several teams have fanned out to nab the accused. A team is at the spot to conduct panchnama,” Patil informed.
Earlier in the day, a police official said Tilekar’s family didn’t receive any call for ransom nor had they raised suspicion on anyone.
Police sources said Wagh had interests in farming and also owned a hotel near Shewalwadi.
