Dear all,
Still reeling under the shocking news, I inform you that we have lost our Saathi Rahul Mangaonkar, today early morning. I just received an email from Pankti Jog. She informs that, it is severe heart attack as he complained of chest pain and expired on the way to hospital.
As he had done for Masterji, we will be only allowing respects to Rahul for the next 24 hours. Other RTI mails are to be put on hold till then.
May his soul rest in peace.
Regards,
Vishal
To
The Bereaved Family of Rahul,

May his brave soul rest in peace.Amen

Dear all
I was shocked to get a SMS followed by phone call from Vihar Durveji announcing the sudden death of Rahul. I just could not beleive that his young man, a seasoned journalist with Times of India, Ahmedabad could depart from this world so soon.
I would fondly remember him as a upright person, blunt and honest to the core who would not mind at all calling spade a spade. He was very prompt to apologize if he erred somewhere. I had very high regards for his seniors in profession. Once he called me, when I pulled him for some remarks, which was offensive. Hespoke for nearly 30 minutes and clarified the misunderstanding very politely. That is how he won the hearts of many. The late PMK nutured him to be one of the best RTI activists in the country.
I wish to extend my hearfelt condolonces to his family thru HJ and pray God to give the departed soul peace and place in Swarg.
In grief with all the members of HJ

Dear Friends,

SHOCKING. !!!!!!
It is difficult to express our loss in words.
It is not even 72 hours since I shared my last international RTI story with him.
As a Journalist (TOI) he minced no words in calling spade a spade.. His bold and forthright writings (articles/news report) spoke how much he cared for the society.
In these hours of grief we pray to God to give us strength to carry on with his unfinished mission.
Expressing our condolences to his family, near dear one, friends and his readers and all.
In grief...
