Former president of Kamgar Aghadi and senior Kamgar leader Dada Samant (92) committed suicide at his daughter’s residence in Borivli on Saturday morning. He was the elder brother of late labour leader Dr. Datta Samant.

The police were informed at around 7.30 am when their housemaid found Samant dead in a small room on the ground floor of the society and alerted the other family members. The Dahisar police officials and the senior officer from Zone XII rushed the spot, sent  Samant's body for the autopsy and later handed over the body to the family for the last rites. They also registered an accidental death case and initiated an inquiry that is underway.
