Maharashtra police have made significant progress in the investigation into the brutal murder of Beed sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh, with the arrest of two additional individuals in connection with the crime. Deshmukh, who was a prominent political figure in the Beed district, was found dead under mysterious circumstances earlier this month, sparking outrage among locals and political circles.
The two new arrests come after the initial investigation led to the identification of a group of individuals allegedly involved in the planning and execution of the murder. The police have revealed that the motive behind the crime is believed to be political rivalry, with Deshmukh reportedly having conflicts with certain local power brokers.
Deshmukh was attacked at his residence late in the evening, and although he was rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. Local authorities initially struggled to identify the suspects, but after a series of raids and interrogations, the police were able to arrest the two individuals, who are believed to have played a significant role in the execution of the murder.
The arrests have brought some sense of relief to the victim’s family and the local community, although many questions remain unanswered. The investigation is ongoing, with the police continuing to question those arrested for further details. The authorities have pledged to bring all those involved in the crime to justice and are working to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy.
