Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange on Friday asserted that the murderers of Mahadev Munde should be arrested within a week, or else he would go for an "indefinite" agitation. Speaking in Beed after meeting Mahadev Munde's wife Dyaneshwari Munde, Jarange further stated that NCP leader and Parli MLA Dhananjay Munde should assist the family in getting justice "rather than roaming for the post of minister".
Mahadev Munde, who resides in Parli, was kidnapped on October 9, 2023 and killed three days later. The Crime Branch of the local police is investigating the case.
"We stand with Mahadev Munde's family. We will see to it that justice is delivered. Those accused by Dyaneshwari Munde have to be arrested within a week or there will be an indefinite shutdown in Beed," Jarange threatened.

Addressing the gathering, Dyaneshwari Munde claimed she has been fighting for justice for the last 21 months, and even tried poisoning herself in desperation.
"I have met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and he has promised me that the perpetrators will be arrested. Manoj Jarange has supported me in this case," she added.
