3 suspects identified
Police Inspector Sarjerao Gawde of the Pimpri police station is investigating the case. “In the afternoon, a mob attacked their (Lagade brothers) residence,” he said. “Three suspects were identified — Samir Shaikh, Sagar Pille and Zahir Shaikh. Before the attack they stoned the tempo of the complainants. The reason is not clear, but we think it happened because of some personal differences. Samir has a criminal record, but the others don’t have a criminal background.”u00a0
