Pawanraje Nimbalkar 20 Years, 128 Witnesses: Ex-Congress Leader's Murder Trial Nears Verdict
A high-profile murder case with political implications nearing verdict after 20 years raises concerns about justice delayed.
A Special CBI Court in Mumbai is set to deliver its verdict on the Pawanraje Nimbalkar murder case on June 16. The nearly two-decade-old case involves alleged political rivalry and a contract killing conspiracy, with Padamsinh Patil, a senior politician, as the prime accused. The case has significant ramifications for Maharashtra's politics, particularly in Dharashiv district where the Nimbalkar and Patil families have long been rivals. The verdict is expected to bring closure to one of the state's longest-running political murder trials.
