New Delhi: Indian sprint legend Milkha Singh died on Friday after a month-long battle with Covid-19. He was 91.
The news comes in the week where former national volleyball captain Nirmal Kaur, wife of Milkha Singh, had died on Sunday after contracting the virus.
Milkha’s condition turned critical this evening as he developed complications, including fever and dipping oxygen saturation levels, after a bout with Covid-19, in the Intensive Care Unit of the PGIMER hospital in Mohali.
The Padma Shri awardee had contracted Covid-19 last month and tested negative for the virus on Wednesday when he was shifted to general ICU in another block of the hospital.
