Rajeshwari Bhartare, 24, one of the last two surviving victims of the fire that broke out at the Pavan Dham Veena Santoor building in Kandivli, succumbed to her burns on Friday evening. Her 21-year-old brother, Krishna, who has come to Mumbai along with their mother, Devkabai, from their village, Ramunaik Tanda, in Ummerkhed taluka under Yavatmal district, stated that the family will now be taking her body to Nair Hospital for a post-mortem.

“In the morning, we will be heading to our village along with her,” he said. Devkabai and her husband, Bharat, are farmers back in their village, while Krishna was preparing for police recruitment exams in Amravati. Pravin Mule, Rajeshwari’s cousin, said, “We are just trying to take care of her mother now. I am afraid something will happen to her, too, because of stress and trauma.”
