MUMBAI:

Deshmukh, the sarpanch of a village, was abducted and brutally murdered earlier this month for raising his voice against an extortion racket in Beed. Dhas, speaking about NCP minister Dhananjay Munde and his close aide Walmik Karad, who is accused of being the mastermind in the murder, had said that the duo also had a "Parli pattern" of inviting female actors for events. Referring to Mali by name, Dhas had remarked that she was familiar with Parli (Munde's hometown and constituency). His remarks went viral on Friday.
