He is survived by two sons.
Sheetal, 39, took the extreme step following a recent public spat with other members of the Amte family over the management of Maharogi Seva Samiti, a social service organisation founded by Baba Amte, a recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay Award and Padma Vibhushan, who died in 2008.

Mourners raised slogans like 'Baba Amte amar rahe' (Baba Amte will be immortal) and 'Bharat Jodo' (unite India).
