Barely over two weeks after Indian shooting legend Jaspal Rana’s death due to cardiac complications, his mother, Shyama Devi, died on Sunday following a prolonged illness and hospitalisation, PTI reported. The day also marked what would have been Rana’s 50th birthday.

The back-to-back losses have dealt another blow to the Rana family. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed condolences, saying the death of Shyama Devi, wife of former minister Narayan Singh Rana and mother of the late Padma Shri awardee, was “extremely sorrowful”.
