Beed, Apr 17 (PTI) Walmik Karad, the prime accused in sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh murder case currently lodged in a jail here, complained of abdominal pain and fever on Friday, following which he was taken to a local government hospital where tests were conducted on him, officials said.
Deshmukh, the sarpanch of Massajog village in Beed, was abducted and brutally killed in December 2024 for attempting to foil an extortion bid on an energy company. His body riddled with injuries and bearing signs of extreme brutality was found dumped on the roadside.
Days later, Karad, a close aide of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Dhananjay Munde, surrendered before the police and was arrested in the case.
“Karad was brought to the Beed Civil Hospital after he complained of fever and abdominal pain. Doctors conducted a CT scan and sonography on him. There are mild issues related to cystitis. His serum creatinine is also slightly elevated. All other parameters are normal,” a doctor at the hospital said.
“We have given him antibiotics and scheduled a follow-up session a week later. There is no serious health concern as of now,” he said. PTI AW NP
