Mumbai: Hours after protesting the Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) bank scam, a 51-year-old customer with deposits worth Rs 90 lakh died of a heart attack in Mumbai. The deceased, identified as Sanjay Gulati, used to work with Jet Airways.

Gulati participated in the protest along with his father on Monday and returned home. The family was having a late lunch when he collapsed and turned motionless. The family rushed him to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead. The cause of death was cardiac arrest.
