MUMBAI, Oct 15:
A 51-year-old city resident whose deposit of over Rs 90 lakh was stuck with the scam-hit PMC Bank died of a heart attack, hours after taking part in a protest by bank customers who are seeking their money back.
Sanjay Gulati, the deceased, had lost his job at Jet Airways when the airline was grounded in April, his famly said. He also had a specially-abled child to support.
Gulati and his 80-year-old father C L Gulati participated in the depositors’ protest in south Mumbai on Monday morning. Later, while having a late lunch at his house in suburban Oshiwara, Sanjay collapsed, his family said.
He was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead. The cause of death was given as cardiac arrest.
“He had lost his job recently and was extremely stressed for the last few days after the bank crisis. He feared we will not get any of our money back,” wife Bindu Gulati told reporters on Tuesday.
The family was struggling to pay tuition fees for their specially-abled son who needs special education and special medical attention, entailing high expenditure, she said. (PTI)
