"He was a good man. He didn't deserve this. We were all at home when we got the call at midnight.
"What will his family do now?" a relative said.
Kasar sustained grievous injuries on his chest and head and was declared dead on arrival at J J Hospital. A Ghatkopar resident, Kasar is survived by his wife and two sons.
