Mumbai, 16/1: In a surprising development, Shrikant Pangarkar, an accused in the murder of journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh and Nalasopara arms-ammunition haul case, has won the elections to the Jalna Municipal Corporation (JMC) as an independent candidate.
Pangarkar contested from Ward 13 of the JMC, where he faced the BJP, however, the Shiv Sena, led by Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, which contested separately in Jalna, did not field any candidate in this seat.
