(Representational )Eight persons, including a hotel owner, have been arrested for allegedly murdering hotelier Ramdas Raghunath Akhade (38). Police said that Akhade was the owner of Hotel Garva in Urali Kanchan, on the Pune-Solapur Highway. Around 7 pm on July 18, some assailants came on two-wheelers and attacked Akhade with sharp weapons, when he was sitting in front of his hotel. Police said Khedekar was allegedly upset because Akhade’s hotel was more successful than his hotel. He allegedly asked his nephew Saurabh Chaudhari (21) to murder Akhade in return of money.
