In the year 2001, after Harshad died of a heart attack, most of the charges on him dropped, relieving his wife and brother from most of the cases against the Mehta family. Although the fine of about  ₹2000 Crore still had to be paid, and Jyoti and Ashwin Mehta remained there to pay the tax demand after Harshad Mehta’s death. The case went on and the family fought it for almost 27 years before the tax Appellate Tribunal cleared them from whole tax demand.

Interestingly, while trying to find Harshad Mehta’s son, Atur Mehta, many ended up looking for another boy named Atur Mehta who also happened to be settled in Mumbai and is a CTO & co-founder of a tech company called Square Off. Many believed him to be Harshad Mehta’s son but what they failed to interpret was that his son would have been older than 35 years now while Square Off’s founder seems too young to be the son of Harshad Mehta.
