Days after one of his close associates was taken into custody in relation to the december 2024 murder of a local sarpanch in Beed district, maharashtra minister dhananjay Munde resigned on tuesday and handed his resignation to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Shortly after Munde's departure, the leader of the nationalist congress party (NCP) broke his quiet to denounce the ruthless killing of Massajog's village headman and to say that he had also resigned for health reasons. Taking to X, Munde said, "My firm demand from the first day is that the accused in the brutal murder of the late Santosh Deshmukh of Massajog in Beed district should be given the strictest punishment. Seeing the photos that came to light yesterday, I was deeply distressed."
