A member of Ambedkar’s party, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, Bansod was rushed to Nagpur but he died during the treatment. While the police have registered a case against an NCP leader for abetment to suicide, Ambedkar and other activists allege that there are gaps in the police’s investigation. Ambedkar said in a statement that Bansod was physically attacked by the Gas agency owner Mithilesh alias Mayur Umarkar who is an NCP leader. Umarkar and his goons also began beating Bansod,” Ambedkar alleged. But Ambedkar said that police registered a case of suicide because Mithilesh is an officer-bearer of NCP.
