Man found dead by roadside in Beed district; police suspect foul play

Beed, Jun 2 (PTI) A 30-year-old man was found dead on the roadside under suspicious circumstances in Maharashtra’s Beed district, police said on Tuesday.

The Neknoor police initially discovered a motorcycle off the Limbaganesh-Anjanwati road on Monday morning, leading investigators to believe the rider had died on the spot after his two-wheeler veered off the tarmac the previous night, an official said.

On inspection, however, the police found suspicious marks on the deceased man’s neck, he said.

The deceased was identified as Kiran Bandu Sonawane (30), a resident of Anjanwati village in Beed tehsil.

His body was sent to the primary health centre at Limbaganesh for post-mortem, the official said, adding that the police are probing the death. PTI
