Three accused are still missing - Ambadas Danve
Four people have been arrested in the Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh murder case. shiv sena (UBT) leader Ambadas said, "Three accused are still missing, what about them? I have information that the arrested accused must have contacted the absconding people. The CID should reveal the details that have come to light during the investigation. The facts will come to light only when the three absconding accused are arrested.
Most of the officers investigating the case are from Beed - Ambadas Danve
He demanded, "The trial of the murder and the extortion case related to it should be held outside Beed. Most of the officers investigating the case are from Beed and have political connections. Karad was in the area where initially the police were not registering complaints. So my demand is that this trial should be held outside Beed." On the other hand, Karad claims that he has nothing to do with all this. However, the arrested accused have claimed that there was communication (between the company and Karad) about extortion.
