The assailants were suspected to be associates of Baiju alias Pramod Baban Navghane, a mandal president who was murdered by rival mandal members for not paying hafta during a Navratri toran procession in Dhankawadi in October. Jadhav, a resident of Ambegaon Budruk in Haveli, is a brother-in-law of Datta Mane, an accused in the Navghane murder case.
