7/11 Mumbai blast victim dies after remaining in coma for 7 years

Mumbai, July 7: Parag Sawant, a 7/11 Mumbai blast victim breathed his last today at the Hinduja hospital after remaining in coma for 7 years.

Priti was pregnant when the blast happened and is now working with the Railways. She is the sole bread winner of the house.
