“She died due to heart attack. She was in shock ever since her son died and was not even eating properly. Shinde’s last rites were performed at Shirgoan in Satara,” said Sunil Rane, a Shinde family neighbour in Worli.
Shinde (52), was posted at Khar petrol pump when he was attacked with a wooden plank by two brothers, one of them a juvenile, because he asked for their licence. He succumbed to his injuries on August 31.
