My family got the news that the car in which Dada was travelling with family members had met with an accident at Sindur near Hazaribag and the chapter for all purposes has come to a close.
It was devastating to say the least that it was indeed the blackest day for our family as the magnitude of loss came to sink in over the years as we lost our ground in politics also.
