TNN | Mar 12, 2021, 09.42 AM IST MUMBAI: Assistant police commissioner Ramesh Nangre (55), lauded for his work as chief of Dharavi police station when Covid was at its peak last year, died
of a heart attack on Thursday. Nangre, survived by wife and three children, was last posted at Sakinaka. “Nangre was on night duty on Wednesday. We spoke around 10.30am on Thursday and he
said he would come to Sakinaka by 12.30pm. He wanted to visit a temple in Powai for Mahashivratri. Around noon, I learnt he had passed away,” said senior inspector Balwant Deshmukh. Nangre
was his immediate superior. When Nangre felt uneasy on Thursday morning he was taken to a private hospital in Kandivli. He breathed his last at the hospital. Two days back he had taken his
second vaccine shot. “He was fit and used to follow yoga religiously,” said a colleague. Dharavi got a mention by WHO for breaking the Covid chain.
