Nadim Pathan Raul Pathan, a building contractor, was attacked by kidnappers who came in a car on Wednesday morning at around 11.30 am. They dumped him in the car and took him towards Beed district. However, they ran out of fuel and left the injured Nadim and the car in the midway and escaped from the scene. Nadim’s brother, Wasim, lodged a complaint at Satara police station on Wednesday night. Accordingly, cases were registered against suspects Feroz, his three sons and other three persons in this connection. PSI, Vikram Vadne is further investigating the case.
