On Tuesday, the Ghatkopar-based senior citizen, who had a history of travel to Dubai - and initially hid details of his foreign trip - passed away.
Under stringent protocol, his last rites were performed at the Shivaji Park crematorium. His close relatives claimed the body.

As of now there are 41 COVID-19 positive patients in Maharashtra of which one is critical. More than 1,000 people in the Mumbai metropolitan region are in home-quarantine.
Meanwhile, as a precautionary measure, the Central Railway and Western Railway cancelled inter-city trains including between Mumbai and Pune, the two worst-affected cities.
