Shiv Sena Thackeray faction leader Pradeep Purnekar was brutally murdered by Papya Shinde and his associates around 9:30 PM while in his office, where they first shot him and then used a sickle to attack his neck, throat, and chest.
While the Ambernath Municipal Council's general meeting was underway at the Dharmaveer Anand Dighe Natyagriha, police apprehended a suspicious car parked just 50 meters away containing sharp weapons, no number plate, and black film on its windows, leading to suspicions of a planned corporator murder.
The BJP accused the Shiv Sena and expressed strong suspicions that the armed conspiracy targeted a corporator, while the Shiv Sena claimed drug-addicted youths might have been involved in potential robbery or murder given local narcotics issues, prompting the BJP mayor and corporators to demand strict police action.
