Tapendra Singh, who worked in a Kalbadevi-based office, used to return home by 10 pm every day. He didn't on Thursday. His wife Sunita's deepest regret is letting him go to work that day as he had wanted to save his leave that he needed to avail a few months later.

The only breadwinner in his family, Tapendra has left behind a wife, three-year-old daughter, and an aged mother. On Wednesday, he had returned to Mumbai after dropping off his sister to Nepal.
