They have booked a case of murder in connection with the incident, he said.
The deceased, Madhkar alias Bablu Daji Umavane, who used to run a jeep for shunting passengers between Murbad and other villages, went missing on November 8, sub-divisional officer of police Rajendra More said.
His family members then filed a missing person's complaint, he said.
During a search, the police last week found Umavane's jeep, having some blood stains near the driver's seat, abandoned at a forest in Titwala-Kakadpada area of Kalyan taluka, the official said.
A case under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) was registered, More said, adding that a hunt for the killers was on.
