Unidentified persons abduct and kill BJP MLC Tilekar's uncle in Pune
Pune (PTI): Maharashtra BJP MLC Yogesh Tilekar's uncle was allegedly abducted and killed by unidentified persons in Pune district on Monday, a police official said.
The victim, Satish Wagh (55), was bundled into an SUV near Shewalwadi Chowk in Hadapsar area of Pune city by four to five persons when he was out on a morning walk, prompting police to fan out several teams to trace him.
