confirmed
her

demise
and
told
ABP
News,
“After
the
death
of
my
mother
on
June
21,
my
father
got
very
ill.
He
stopped
eating
and
drinking
and
he
was
feeling
very
weak.
So,
after
completing
the
13th
day
ritual
of
my
mother's
death,
he
was
admitted
to
Bombay
Hospital
for
treatment,
he
was
diagnosed
with
lung
cancer.
The
cancer
was
in
its
final
stage
and
there
was
no
hope
of
survival.
The
doctors
asked
to
take
him
home.
I
brought
him
back
home
yesterday
and
he
died
at
6.00
am
today.”
