Four held on abduction and murder charge

Pune: Four men were arrested on Saturday on the charge of abducting a 32-year-old man on February 24 and murdering him in Kasar Amboli in Mulshi taluka.
Investigation revealed that the victim Rahul Ingawale of Pirangut, ran a business of renting utensils, and he was the neighbour of one of the suspects.
He was kidnapped and murdered, following an old dispute with the prime suspect Akash Kedari (21) of Pirangut.
The police also arrested Kedari’s accomplices — Vikram Jagtap (21), Shekhar Kedari (23), both of Pirangut, and Pramod Kamble (30) of Kasar Amboli.
The suspects had abducted Ingawale in a car. “They took him to a secluded spot near Kasar Amboli and hacked him to death with sharp weapons. They then took the body to Ghol village in Velhe taluka and dumped it in a pipe and set it on fire,” an officer from Paud police said.
Ingawale’s relative had registered a missing person’s complaint with the Paud police. “After receiving information about the burnt body in Velhe, we sent Ingawale’s photograph to the Velhe police and ascertained the identity,” the officer said.
The Paud police received information about Akash Kedari’s involvement in the abduction and murder case.
“We took Kedari into custody. During questioning, he admitted to his involvement in the crime and also revealed the names of his three accomplices,” the officer added.
