Kochi, May 30

Malayalam actor Harish Pengan, who was suffering from liver ailments, passed away at a private hospital here on Tuesday, film industry sources said.

The 49-year-old actor was admitted to the hospital early this month following stomach pain and after certain medical tests, it was diagnosed that his condition was serious.

The doctors had suggested a liver transplant and Pengan’s twin sister agreed to be the donor but as they did not have Rs 30 lakh for it, the actor’s friends started to raise funds. However, Pengan’s condition deteriorated and he passed away on 3.25 p.m.

The actor is known for films like ‘Maheshinte Prathikaaram’, ‘Shefeekkinte Santhosham’, ‘Honey Bee 2.5’, ‘Vellaripattanam’, ‘Jaane Mann’, ‘Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey’, ‘Priyan Ottathilanu’, ‘Jo and Jo’, and ‘Minnal Murali’.

The last rites of the actor will be held here on Wednesday, his family said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
