Goan engineer a casualty in Mumbai blasts

Every year, Ranjan Rohidas Naik (42) would normally join his family back home in his village of Assolna to celebrate the Ganesh Chathurti festival.
His family, however, would miss his presence this ensuing Chathurti as Tuesday’s serial train bomb blasts in the metropolis took away the life of this young Goan engineer employed with a telecommunications company.
Ranjan — working as a deputy manager in a telecommunication company at Churchgate — was proceeding home to Virar as usual, when the train he was travelling was ripped apart when it reached Mahim, killing him and many others.
Ranjan is survived by his wife and a son. His family members, including brother Sachitanand, rushed to Mumbai a day ago on hearing the shocking news, but could not bring the badly mutiliated body home for last rites.
A pall of gloom descended in the Naik family and in the neighbourhood with the tragic death of Ranjan Naik. Family sources said that Ranjan did not turn up home at Virar on Tuesday evening after the serial blasts, and the family’s worst fears came true after his body was identified among the dead on Wednesday evening.
Sachitanand, who returned back home this evening, informed that the last rites were performed in Mumbai itself.
