Pune (PTI): Baramati MP Supriya Sule has claimed that MLA Sunil Tingre of the ruling NCP has sent a legal notice to her father and NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, asking him not to defame him in the Pune Porsche car hit-and-run case.

Sule, who is the working president of NCP (SP), was speaking on Friday at a rally in support of party candidate Bapu Pathare contesting the November 20 assembly election from the Vadgaon Sheri constituency in Pune.

Without taking the name of Tingre, Sule said, "The person whom the party had given the ticket last time has now sent a notice that he will drag Sharad Pawar to court if he was defamed in the Porsche car case."

"But Sharad Pawar is not even afraid of the Enforcement Directorate's notice. So do you think he will be afraid of your notice?" Sule asked.

Talking to reporters later, she said Tingre had sent a notice to Pawar through his lawyers.

"We will look into the notice," she added.

Tingre, who is contesting the assembly from Vadgaon Sheri as the candidate of the ruling NCP led by Ajit Pawar, faces the allegation of using his clout to protect the accused in the Porsche crash case.

The high-end car allegedly driven by a 17-year-old boy under the influence of alcohol knocked down two motorbike-borne IT professionals, one of them a woman, in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area in the wee hours of May 19, killing them.

Belagavi (Karnataka), Jan 2: A woman was arrested for killing her drunkard husband in the district, said the police on Thursday.

She allegedly strangled him first, then smashed his face with a stone and cut his body into two pieces to haul it far away from her house, they said.

According to Belagavi Superintendent of Police Bhimashankar Guled, the pieces of the body of 40-year-old Srimantha Itnali were found on December 10 in Umarani village, Chikkodi taluk of Belagavi.

“A three-member team led by the deputy superintendent of police camped in the village and investigated the case,” said the SP, addressing a press meet on Thursday.

After a false start, they zeroed in on the wife, Savithri, and she was brought to the station for questioning.

“Initially, she didn’t agree but later she confessed to her crime,” added the SP.

According to him, the incident took place on December 8.

The man, a drunkard, often used to abuse his wife for money, said the police.

On the day of the murder, he was fighting with her over a piece of land she owned.

“He wanted his wife to sell the land and buy him a new motorbike.”

Unable to take it anymore, the wife had allegedly confessed that she killed him that night while he was sleeping outside.

“She first strangled him and when he was unconscious, used a boulder lying nearby to smash his face. She then disposed of the boulder in a well,” the SP said.

To make it easy for transportation, she cut the body into two pieces, and carried it in a barrel.

“She disposed of the barrels too in the well, later,” added Guled.

The accused has been taken into custody.
