Thackeray Faction Leader, Family Abducted at Gunpoint in Yavatmal

• Pramod Bharwade, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) Deputy District Chief, and his family were abducted in Yavatmal.
• The abduction was orchestrated to force Bharwade to withdraw an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) complaint he filed.
• Assailants held the family at gunpoint, drove them to Nanded district, and forced them to sign blank papers.
• The family was later abandoned at a secluded spot on Hingoli-Washim Road; all are safe but terrorized.
• Despite the dramatic incident, no official police complaint has been filed yet, possibly due to shock or fear.
