The irked villagers have set a deadline of one month for the authorities to improve the policing.

The bandh, which started from 10 am continued till 6 pm.Balashaheb Waghchore, sarpanch of Veergoan Veergaon Temgire, said, “The police are not taking steps to curb such incidents. The incident on Friday midnight was a heinous one and has shocked the villagers. We want better policing,” he demanded.
Additional superintendent of police of Ahmednagar rural police Sunil Kadasne admitted that incidents of dacoity and robbery are a cause of concern for the police.According to him the police have got concrete lead in the Friday midnight incident. “We suspect that the incident could be the handiwork of suspects hailing from a tribal community.
