“He was unwell for past few months. He was earlier admitted to Breach Candy hospital for a month or so. Later, he was brought to Sunridges hospital in Juhu. He was there for two days. He was not responding to the treatment hence he was brought home. He passed away yesterday at around 6 pm at his residence in Juhu,” said the source.
