After the death of a 32-year-old drug addict at a de-addiction centre in Virar East's Mandvi village, the man's family has raised suspicions over his death. The deceased, Ganesh Chavan, had been admitted to Changing Life Foundation in August and was brought dead to a multispecialty facility, Highway Hospital, on November 19.

"Chavan was addicted to drugs. We sent him to the de-addiction centre located at Vajreshwari Road, Virar East. A couple of days before his death, I had visited the centre to meet him but was not allowed to," Chavan's maternal uncle, Radheshyam Salunkhhe, told mid-day.
