Chandigarh, December 5

Actor Dinesh Phadnis, known for his portrayal of Fredricks in the popular television show ‘C.I.D’ passed away around midnight on December 5. He was 57.

Phadnis’ co-star Dayanand Shetty, famous for portraying Daya on ‘C.I.D’ confirmed the news and attributed his death to liver damage.

Earlier, there were claims that Phadnis had suffered a massive heart attack. However, these claims were rubbished by Shetty.

Reportedly, Phadnis was in a critical condition and had been on the ventilator for the past couple of days.

‘C.I.D.’ was quite popular and aired for almost two decades from 1998 to 2018 before being discontinued.

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).
