Justice Delayed: Political Patronage Shields Kurmi's Conspirators

Relatives of slain NCP functionary Sachin Kurmi allege delayed justice due to political backing, citing police inaction. Brother Mahesh Kurmi plans a hunger strike on Maharashtra Day, demanding arrest of main conspirators. The NCP's Byculla division representative was murdered last October; six arrests have been made.

Family members of the murdered NCP officer, Sachin Kurmi, declared that police have failed to capture the main conspirators, allegedly due to political protection. Despite six arrests, they assert that justice remains elusive.

Mahesh Kurmi, Sachin's brother, announced a hunger strike on May 1, demanding that authorities arrest those he believes are responsible for his brother's death.

The killing of Sachin Kurmi, part of Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party in Byculla, remains unresolved with accusations of local political involvement shielding the main offenders.
