A 61-year-old man, Jafar Ahmad Muztaba Hussain, died due to a snake bite during a trip to Mumbai to shop for his second son’s wedding.

Hussain, who had arrived to the city with his family on Thursday, was staying at his niece’s residence at Khot Dongri in Malad. A Bahrain-based professional, he had returned to Pune three months ago for the wedding, which was to be held next month.
