Shocked by the untimely death of city-based developer and film producer Abis Rizvi, who was slayed in Turkey, friends and colleagues poured in to visit his family at the Rizvi residence, Meenal Mehel in Bandra, till late last night. Actor and choreographer Ravi Behl and former MLA Baba Siddique were among the many visitors.


Abis, 49, was the eldest of four siblings. A few years ago, the family had lost Abis’ younger brother to cancer. Earlier, yesterday, the external affairs ministry had confirmed that Abis was among the 39 people killed in the firing at the Istanbul nightclub on New Year’s. “We are still hoping that it’s a mistake,,” Abis’ cousin told mid-day.

The final rites will take place after that, informed a close relative of the family. Rizvi College, which is run by the Rizvi Education Society, is expected to be shut till his funeral.
