    RIP. Some time a stock broker who died said even I had 10 percent of present income i enjoyed same happiness. The struggle must be changed to love.The death doesn't distinguish between rich and poor and industrialists and labour.All we are travellers and love bring peace and happiness. He is great employer and great loss to Indian economy but there's no alternative. Love only mitigate this loss or any type of loss. Death comes like thief and steal and go and don't consider age also. God bless his soul abundantly and may rest in peace

    Highly suspicious death, this! I live in Palghar, there's too much sinister politicking with any of these villagers, who are jobless and addicts. Pay Rs. 10k and they will do anything! Palghar is the place where most number of lawless criminals, local goons, the builder lobby drives no. 2 businesses for profit. The youth are uneducated and work for these losers. There must be a probe into this incident.

    Dr Anahita Pandole was driving the Mercedes car, Pandoles are family friends of Mistry, it seems overspeeding was the cause of accident,but as you have rightly said Palghar is a notorious place ,the incident should be thoroughly investigated.

    His grandfather had lent money to Tatas, and because of this Pallonji was made a trustee, but later on there were misunderstandings and Tatas said "tata" to Pallonji family including Cyrus. They have very large landholding in Mumbai.
