The Beed Court Joint Civil Judge Kadir A. Sarvari on Monday sent to police custody a man accused of murdering his 22-year-old girlfriend in a ghastly acid-cum-petrol attack, an official said here.

The accused, Avinash R. Rajure, 25, was picked up from a hideout in Nanded, brought to Beed and produced before the District Court Monday morning, said in-charge of the Neknur Police Station, Laxman Kendre.
