Missing man’s body buried with 50 kg salt exhumed in Pardi

Nagpur:Pankaj Giramkar, 27, was allegedly killed by his wife’s paramour who buried his body around 10-feet under the ground along with the victim’s bike on December 28 last year beside a roadside dhaba at Kapsi in the outskirts of the city. The body and bike were exhumed on Sunday after the case was cracked.
