Senior Shiv Sena leader and former&nbsp;Maharashtra labour minister Shabbir Shaikh today died at a&nbsp;private hospital in suburban Bhiwandi, following prolonged&nbsp;illness, his family members said.
He was 71 and remained a bachelor while living in&nbsp;Bhiwandi's Kongaon area.
"My uncle was suffering from a severe diabetes problem&nbsp;which had immobilised him. He had been admitted to a hospital&nbsp;for the last couple of months, but his condition deteriorated&nbsp;since last week. It is all the more unfortunate that he&nbsp;expired on polling day," Shiv Sena leader and Shabbir Shaikh's&nbsp;nephew Haji Arafat Shaikh told PTI.
Shaikh who was a senior Shiv Sena leader and the party's&nbsp;biggest Muslim face, was elected thrice as an MLA, as well as&nbsp;served as Maharashtra labour minister in the Sena-BJP&nbsp;government in Maharashtra.
