Even as his family is coming to terms with his sudden death, they are yet to receive the ₹10 lakh insurance cover promised by the state government in case of any mishap. The Bombay high court asked the state to ensure that each govinda receive an insurance cover of ₹10 lakh, following which the Eknath Shinde-led government, which permitted dahi handi celebrations after a gap of two years, announced the insurance cover stating that the government will pay the premium. Two other Govindas died in the dahi handi celebrations this year: Sandesh Dalvi who passed away in Nanavati Hospital on August 24 and Prathmesh Sawant who died on October 8 in KEM Hospital.
