Family sources revealed that he was “recovering after taking proper treatment in the United States of America but relapsed a few days ago and died.”

He used to run Zoom mobile, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) telecom business which later closed shop in 2012 because of intense competition and onslaught from GSM operators.
