According to information given by the police, Pawar had been to his in-laws’ house in Wadgaon Budruk to bring his wife at 3 am, but was sent back by his wife because he was in an inebriated state.
“We suspect that they were stabbed to death over some previous dispute and we are investigating with whom they had enmity in the past,” Devkar said.u00a0
