New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS) Former Union Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh succumbed to post-COVID illness at AIIMS here on Sunday. He was 74.
Singh was suffering from lungs’ infection and put on ventilator support two days ago after his health deteriorated at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
He was admitted in the ICU a week ago after complaining of infection in the lungs, which he developed after contracting COVID-19.
Singh tested coronavirus positive in June and was treated at AIIMS in Patna.
The veteran politician had resigned from the Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) a few days ago. He had written a series of letters to various politicians while undergoing treatment at AIIMS in Delhi.
