Meanwhile, NCP (SP) Chief Sharad Pawar and his MP daughter Supriya Sule on Tuesday visited Bopdev Ghat. They were apprised of the status of the investigation by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) S Raja.
Sule said that despite the investigation being conducted by the Pune Police and their rural counterparts, the accused persons were yet to be arrested, which was a "serious matter". The Baramati MP suggested that criminals are emboldened by the absence of police personnel on the ground and accused the state government of not recruiting.
