Deshmukh, sarpanch of Massajog village, was abducted, tortured and murdered on December 9 for attempting to stop an extortion bid on an energy firm helming a windmill project in Beed district in central Maharashtra, some 380 kilometres from Mumbai. Police have registered a murder case and an extortion offence linked to the killing.
«Since the murder of sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh, we all have said whoever is involved in it will not be spared. It was a brutal murder. The culprits must face the strongest punishment,» Pawar said while speaking to reporters.
Walmik Karad, a close associate of cabinet minister Dhananjay Munde, is a key accused in the extortion case linked to the killing of Deshmukh, and is currently lodged in jail.
Munde, who hails from Beed district, belongs to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) headed by Pawar. The deputy CM maintained he had instructed the superintendent of police (SP) of Beed district to take strict action against the culprits.
