The Mumbai police have often gone beyond their duty in this pandemic to help people, and this time, another such example comes from the Versova police station. Assistant Police Inspector Sanjay Kandalkar of the police station ensured the imprisoned son of a Versova resident was granted permission to step out of jail for two hours to perform her last rites.
API Kandalkar received information about the death of an 84-year-old later identified as Chanda Makhija and along with his team, went to her residence at Aram Nagar 1 on Thursday morning. During the inquiry, it was revealed that Makhija stayed alone and the Chavan family, her neighbours, took care of her.
