MUMBAI: Vaibhavi Deshmukh made a powerful point during an impassioned speech at a protest march in Mumbai on Saturday. Tears rolling down her cheeks, the daughter of the slain Beed sarpanch didn't hold back when she accused the authorities of hypocrisy. She said her family had been assured that her father's killers would be brought to book; instead, the alleged mastermind of his murder, Walmik Karad, had been admitted to a hospital in Beed, where he had been shifted from jail.
