Gundgal had filed an application in court to constitute a court commission, alleging threats to him and his family by Pawar and his associates.
Gundgal and Sunetra Pawar owned adjacent plots at Ghotawade. According to his, Pawar had allegedly constructed a wall on his plot and created an obstruction on the road.
When he complained about this illegal construction, Pawar’s men allegedly destroyed the wall to dispose of the evidence that might have incriminated them, the complaint said.
