The ongoing Maratha quota protest in Mumbai has already created a lot of hassle across Mumbai. With the protest amplifying day by day, the Maratha reservation protest on Sunday has witnessed another tragic loss as activist Vijay Ghogre, a resident of Takalgaon in Ahmedpur taluka of Latur, passed away on Saturday at around 7:00 pm due to a heart attack.
According to reports, Ghogre was actively participating in the protest when he suddenly complained of severe chest pain. Vijay Ghogre was immediately shifted to nearby hospitals for treatment soon after he complained of chest pain. However, despite immediate medical efforts, doctors declared him dead after he reached the hospital.
