The family had planned that that once Jamuna got married,they would start looking for a bride for Anil as he was their only son, said Pradeep Jadhav,Anils friend.

My relatives are Anils neighbours and I have been coming to the building since I was a child, said Jadhav,adding that now all he has left are the memories of his young friend.
