In a tragic incident, a 26-year-old mentally and physically challenged man had to spend three days without food or water after his 65-year-old mother passed away. Officials from the Mulund police station said Vinodini Nagwekar, an asthma patient, breathed her last on Tuesday night at their residence at Thakur Prem Ashish Society, Nahur Village, Mulund (W).

The incident came to light yesterday morning after the milkman checked with security guard Umesh Thappa about the family’s whereabouts.
