Tiwari’s son dies aged 39

New Delhi, April 16

Rohit Shekhar Tiwari, son of the late Uttarakhand Chief Minister ND Tiwari, died here today, police and hospital officials said. He was 39.

Rohit was brought dead to a private hospital in Saket. DCP (South) Vijay Kumar said Rohit, a resident of Defence Colony, was brought to the hospital around 5 pm in an ambulance, where doctors declared him dead.

His mother Ujjwala Tiwari was also admitted there when she received a call from  home about her son being “unwell and bleeding from nose,” he said.

 ND Tiwari died at the age of 93 on October 18, his birthday, last year. Rohit had fought a six-year legal battle to prove that he was Tiwari’s “biological” son. Tiwari married Rohit’s mother at the age of 89 in 2014 after Rohit won the paternity suit against him. Rohit joined the BJP ahead of the 2017 Assembly polls and recently indicated  he could join the Congress. — PTI
