Kolkata, July 9

Indian pop icon Usha Uthup’s husband Jani Chacko Uthup died in Kolkata on Monday, their family said.

Jani, 78, complained of discomfort while watching TV at their residence. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead, they said.

A massive cardiac arrest was the trigger for the death, they added.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed her condolence to Usha.

Jani, the second husband of Usha, was associated with the tea plantation sector. They first met at the iconic Trincas in the early ‘70s.

Besides Usha, he was survived by a son and a daughter.

The last rites will be held on Tuesday, the 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).
