Four Arrested in Pune Revenge Murder Linked to 2003 Killing
Pune rural police arrested four individuals, including 24-year-old Manthan Vaidya, for the July 11 murder of Sanjay Baburao Kadu-Deshmukh near the old Katraj tunnel. The killing was reportedly motivated by revenge, as Kadu-Deshmukh allegedly murdered Manthan's father in 2003. Police recovered a country-made pistol and live cartridges from one accused. Investigations involved CCTV footage and witness statements, with the accused confessing to the crime. Kadu-Deshmukh had a criminal record and was out on bail at the time of his death.
