It’s a sad day for the Indian economy as former Tata Sons Chairman Cyrus Mistry has been declared dead after failing to survive a fatal car crash. The 54-year old was killed in an accident in Palghar while returning from Ahmedabad to Mumbai on Sunday, 4th September 2022. While there aren’t many details as of now, the accident is said to have taken place at around 3:15pm today.
“The accident took place around 3.15 pm, when Mistry was travelling to Mumbai from Ahmedabad. The accident took place on a bridge over the Surya river.
