Senior inspector Vijay Jadhav said, "Mane was with two others in the car, driving back to Baramati. Eyewitnesses said he rammed the car into the trio and, instead of helping the girls, he and the other two fled through the bushes." "A resident claimed several sharp weapons and meat were found in the car. It appears the party had gone to hunt. Agitated locals set the car on fire," he added.

"Later, Mane had sent an aide of his to bring the car back; the locals, however, caught him and thrashed him. We tried to take that person with us to the police station, but residents blocked our path. For three hours, traffic was held up; it was complete chaos. We are investigating the case."
