India, Feb. 15 -- Pune city crime branch on Friday filed a 1,700-page charge sheet against 21 accused in connection with the murder of former municipal corporator Vanraj Andekar. The case, which stemmed from a family dispute, has seen the recording of statements from 39 witnesses, with strict legal actions underway.

The dispute began when the Pune Municipal Corporation's encroachment department took action against a general store in the Nana Peth area owned by Sanjivani Komkar. It was suspected that this move was made under the influence of Vanraj Andekar. Additionally, Sanjivani Komkar, Jayant Komkar, Ganesh Komkar, and Prakash Komkar had a long-standing property dispute with Andekar's family, which allegedly fueled their anger.
