Maharashtra BJP MLC Yogesh Tilekar’s uncle was kidnapped and murdered in Pune on Monday. Officials said Satish Wagh was bundled into an SUV by unknown assailants during a morning walk. Hours later, his body was found near Yavat on the Pune-Solapur highway, about 40 kilometers from where he was abducted.

“There were multiple injuries to the body. Several teams have been deployed to catch the suspect. A team was on the spot to conduct panchnama,” Additional Commissioner of Police Manoj Patil said.

According to reports, Wagh was walking in the Hadapsar area of ​​Pune city around 6.15 am when he was approached by an SUV without number plates. The vehicle came from Fursungi Phata area and Wagh was kidnapped by around four to five people near Shewalwadi Chowk soon after.

Several police teams were formed to track down the Pune resident over the next few hours without much success. A police official said Tilekar’s family has neither received any ransom call nor raised any suspicions against anyone. Details about the attackers remain scarce and an investigation into the matter is currently underway.

Police sources said Wagh had interests in agriculture and also owned a hotel near Shewalwadi. A case is reportedly pending in a civil court regarding an acre of his ancestral farm at Malimala in Loni Kalbhor area.

According to the complaint, Wagh had given ₹30 lakhs ₹35 lakh to an individual ten years ago for a land transaction. The complaint was filed by his son Omkar Wagh, who said the deceased had repeatedly called him as the money had not been returned.

It remains unclear whether this case or another personal matter was related to the kidnapping and murder.
