Harshad Mehta's body taken for post-mortem

The body of 'Big Bull' Harshad Mehta, who passed away at a civil hospital in Mumbai following a cardiac arrest early Monday morning, was taken to government-owned J J Hospital for post-mortem by forensic experts.

Inquest panchnama was performed by Thane tehsildar before his body was taken for post-mortem. The post-mortem will be done at 1.00 pm, doctors said.

Police have registred a case of natural death.

According to hospital sources, he complained of chest pain last night in the central prison here where he was lodged since eight days.

The jail doctor S G Kharat gave him first-aid before being taken to civil hospital, they said.

In the hospital, Harshad collapsed when the doctor was examining him. The doctors tried to save him by providing artificial resurrection but declared him dead shortly after midnight. Chief medical officer Dr Sudhir Bakshi and physician Dr R A Chavan attended on him.

Soon after his death, his family rushed to the hospital.

The police also maintained tight bandobast by deploying additional personnel. According to family sources, he never had a heart problem earlier.

According to doctors and jail sources, Harshad did his normal exercises for over an hour every day but on Sunday it was extended by 30 minutes.
