Pune: A horrifying murder has surfaced in the jurisdiction of Vishrambaug Police Station, where a 21-year-old youth allegedly killed a middle-aged man following a dispute over rejected sexual advances.
The victim, believed to be between 50 and 55 years old, was found in a pool of blood in the parking area of a building located opposite the Mandai Metro Station on Wednesday. The injured man was quickly rushed to Sassoon Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
The accused, identified as Ramesh Prakash Satre, is a resident of Katard village in Rahuri taluka, Ahilyanagar district. Police sources revealed that after committing the crime, Ramesh fled and hid at his brother’s residence in Shirur.
