If you're a frequent Instagram user, chances are you've come across reels featuring Dharashiv's Hotel Bhagyashree and its owner Nagesh Madke. Known for its non-veg thalis, the hotel has quickly gained popularity, attracting customers from far and wide. Madke has himself become something of an internet sensation, with his reels regularly going viral.
Meanwhile, in a shocking incident, Madke was kidnapped on Wednesday evening and severely beaten. He is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.
According to the information received, Madke was standing in front of his hotel at around 7pm when a four-wheeler stopped. The people in the car called Madke on the pretext of taking a selfie. When he approached the car, they kidnapped him and drove away.
The kidnappers took him about five kilometres. During this time, they beat him inside the car and threatened to kill him, saying they wouldn't leave him until he was dead. Madke claimed that he was later thrown off a bridge in Vadgaon.
Following the incident, he called his family and informed them. He was later admitted to a hospital for treatment.
A case has been lodged and the police investigation is underway to trace the culprits behind this act.
