On April 16, 2020, a mob lynched two sadhus -- Chikne Maharaj Kalpavrukshagiri (70) and Sushilgiri Maharaj (35) -- and their driver Nilesh Telgade (30) at Gadchinchale in Maharashtra's Palghar district, located about 140 km north of Mumbai.
While the two monks were heading for Gujarat in a car to attend a funeral, the mob suspected that they were child- lifters.
The CID (crime) of the Maharashtra Police has filed a charge sheet in the case.
