Dadar came together to send across a message through a roadside memorial for tutorial coaching class owner Mayank Mandot. A week ago, 27-year-old Mandot, a Borivali resident, was allegedly killed at his tuition class in Ghatkopar by a former employee Ganesh Pawar. The reason given was a dispute over unpaid salary dues, the sacking of the accused and then, consequently murder. It sent Mumbai inured to an extent by news reports like these, into shock.

The Jain community gathered outside the Shri Shantinath Maharaj Shwetabar Jain Temple, opposite Kabutar Khana, late on Sunday evening for a candlelight vigil — 1 candle for a leader: Mayank Mandot. "Light a candle for Mayank Mandot," said organiser Tarun Bhansali, from Shivaji Park, while talking to a small crowd gathered outside the temple. Passerby Shobhana Tawde stopped as she saw candles next to the banner outside the temple asking those gathered what it was about. She said, "We cannot predict what goes on in somebody's head. I heard he was stabbed in front of students. They must be so traumatised."
