Nitin’s last words in the recording were, ‘Paule chalati Pandharichi waat" (Feet move towards Pandharpur, the pilgrimage town). Nitin Desai reportedly died between 4;00 am and 6:00 am. Before he took his life, Desai made a bow and arrow on the stage and his body hung on top of the arrow’s tip, the police official stated. It might mean that he had picked a ‘Shiv Dhanush”, which is a tough task.
