Nurse Prabhu’s husband, who reached the hospital just when senior BJP leader Vinod Tawde and other politicians had also arrived there, lashed out at them saying, “What kind of leaders are you? You are the ones who don’t work properly to build good infrastructure and have now come to see the dead.” Sobbing incessantly near his wife’s body, he said, “I spoke to her when she boarded the train. She was on the night shift and we were supposed to meet again only on Friday morning. But I’m meeting her so soon.” Nurse Bhakti Shinde is survived by her husband Rajendra Shinde and a son.

His family, who came to know that he was among the dead from TV news, did rounds of several hospitals before finally locating his body at St George’s Hospital. He is survived by his wife and a two-year-old son.Mohan Kayangude, 55, was put on ventilator support and died late Thursday. He worked at a jewellery store in Zaveri Bazar and used the FoB every day to reach CSMT from where he took a train to his home in Thane. On Thursday, he was dropped on the street opposite CSMT by his employer Kirti Soni. “We even spoke to him when he was in hospital, but later the doctors told us that he succumbed,” Kayangude’s son Gaurav said.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta inspected the bridge.
