Thackeray funeral draws massive turnout

Thackeray had been in frail health for months, with a trail of Bollywood stars visiting him in his final days.

He appeared to followers by video link last month asking them to “take care” of his son Uddhav, the executive president of Shiv Sena, whose political fortunes have ebbed since Thackeray’s nephew Raj set up a rival party.
