Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar visited the family of Santosh Deshmukh on the first anniversary of his murder. Maratha leader Manoj Jarange urged the community to unite for justice, as one accused remains missing. The incident stemmed from a confrontation over alleged extortion by a wind energy firm.

Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, Ajit Pawar, visited Massajog village to meet the family of Santosh Deshmukh, a sarpanch who was abducted and murdered over a year ago in Beed district.

At a commemorative event, Maratha leader Manoj Jarange criticized the lack of justice for Deshmukh's family and urged the Maratha community for unity, emphasizing self-protection against injustice.
