Former Chairman of Tata Sons Cyrus Mistry was killed in a car accident in Palghar on Sunday. Mistry was travelling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in a Mercedes car.

“The accident took place around 3.15 pm, when Mistry was travelling to Mumbai from Ahmedabad. The accident took place on a bridge over the Surya river. It seems an accident,” PTI quoted a police official as saying.
