Congress veteran Vidya Charan Shu-kla, who suffered bullet injuries in the deadly Naxal amb-ush that eliminated the party’s Chhatt-isgarh unit leadership over a fortnight ago, died on Tuesday following multi-organ failure.
Confirming the death of Shukla, 84, Yatin Mehta, chairman of the Institute of Critical Care and Anaesthesiology at Medanta Medicity, said the Congress leader died at 2.38 pm after he developed multi-organ failure. Severe bullet injuries and old age were major risk factors in his case, he added.
