Lokesh Shetty, the owner of Bandra`s Janata Bar, breathed his last at around 10:00 am on Saturday at Criticare Multispeciality Hospital & Research Centre in Juhu. He was reportedly suffering from uncontrolled diabetes which had rendered both his kidneys defunct. Owing to his weak health and lowered immunity, doctors had declared him unfit for any kidney transplant procedure.
His funeral was conducted late in the evening at Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) Santacruz electrical crematorium near Juhu Garden. Post the paperwork and formalities related to his funeral rituals, the body was moved to the crematorium at around 5:00 pm in the evening. The cremation was concluded at around 7:00 pm.
