According to the police, Kishore Tambe, a farmer involved in the excavation and sale of murum, went missing on April 6 and his body was later found dumped in a well. He had informed his cousin Pandurang that he is visiting the farm. When he did not return, the family filed a missing complaint at Alephata police station.

The investigation team along with police dog Durga, traced Tambe’s scent to a location in Tambewadi, next to a canal and a well.
