The mortal remains of the deceased will be kept at IPS Mess, Dufnala, Shahibaug here tomorrow between 8:45 AM and 10 AM for the general public to pay their last tributes.
"Pathak will be cremated tomorrow at 10:30 AM at AMC crematorium near V S Hospital, Ellisbridge, here with police honours," said a statement issued by the DGP office.
