Raghunath Shivram Angre had passed under the shade of a massive 45-year-old tree— and perhaps even taken comfort under it — at the entrance of Vidhan Bhavan in south Mumbai hundreds of times. Thursday was no different. The 49-year-old employee with the Speaker’s office at the state legislature was stepping out of the gates to meet his brother, waiting outside, in the morning when some branches of the tree fell on him. He died of his injuries late at night.
