Shocked and saddened by the death of their beloved 'Bisleri' pani puri wala due to coronavirus, residents of South Mumbai, especially Nepean Sea Road, came together to help his family. The residents joined hands to raise money for his family through a crowd-funding platform. To date, they have managed to raise over Rs 2.7 lakh.

A Twitter user Anjali B took to social media to spread the word. In the tweet, she said that Yadav passed away nearly a month ago due to COVID-19. "He sold pani puris for 46 years & prepared everything at home, hygienically," she wrote while urging people to come forward and help his family.
