Overview

  • Police received a 112 emergency call at about 12:30 am Thursday and tracked a black Scorpio to Sinhagad Road, rescuing 28-year-old MPSC aspirant Prasad Suryavanshi within roughly an hour.
  • Officers arrested Sagar Ramesh Borade, 32, a hotel owner from Walchandnagar, and Kishor Balasaheb Sawant, 32, at about 1:23 am and placed them in police custody.
  • Authorities say Borade confronted Suryavanshi over his communications with a woman known to both men, and that the victim was assaulted during the abduction and treated after his rescue.
  • A case has been registered naming four suspects; police are searching for two remaining accused and are pursuing technical and witness evidence as the probe continues.
  • Both the rescued man and the woman involved are competitive-exam (MPSC) aspirants, a detail that has raised local concerns about student safety and may shape police outreach or campus security checks.
