Around 10 pm yesterday, Mangal Gaikwad, who lives with her brother and mother at Nigdi, took a heavy dose of her daily tablets for her asthmatic condition. "She was sleeping when we saw that she started breathing heavily than usual. She was then brought to YCMH in a near unconscious state around 11.50 pm. We tried asking her what happened but she wouldn't give us a clear answer," said her mother Dhondabai Jadhav (65).
