Satish Wagh was the uncle of BJP legislator Yogesh Tilekar from the Maharashtra Legislative Council. Wagh was abducted while taking his morning walk in the Phursungi area on December 9 at around 6:30 AM.
The kidnappers had carefully planned the abduction. They knew the time Wagh would leave his house for exercise, who he would be with, and whether there were any CCTV cameras in the vicinity. After the abduction, they used an unnumbered car to carry out the kidnapping and later murdered Wagh.
