18 days & counting, Beed sarpanch murder mastermind still on the run
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|December 28, 2024
THE Opposition in Maharashtra charges the home minister with being weak for the failure to arrest Walmik Karad, a close aide of NCP minister Dhananjay Munde and the alleged mastermind of Massajog village Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh murder case, even 18 days after the incident.
The issue is raising political temperatures because Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis happens to be the state's home minister. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut claimed this is "unlikely to happen without political blessings", alleging that Fadnavis "has failed to give justice to the deceased and his family members".
Raut said it is surprising that Karad "is roaming free, but the police cannot trace him when everyone knows in Beed and Maharashtra who is protecting whom and for what reasons".
