FollowMumbai: Another death has been reported in connection with the Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative bank scam from Mumbai. 68-year-old Keshumal Hinduja died of heart attack.
The 68-year-old woman was an account holder of the scam-hit Punjab and Maharashtra (PMC) Co-operative Bank.
With the demise of Keshumal, the death toll of account holders in PMC has gone up to six.
Keshumal Hinduja, a resident of Mulund colony, complained of chest pain on the night of October 29 and died at a private hospital on October 30, said the daughter of the deceased.
