New Delhi: Rohit Shekhar Tiwari, son of the late Uttarakhand Chief Minister N.D. Tiwari, passed away yesterday.

According to Joint Commissioner, Delhi Police, Devesh Shrivastava, Rohit was reportedly admitted to the hospital after he suffered a nose bleed. He was immediately rushed to the Max Hospital in an ambulance, but was declared brought dead.

His mother Ujjwala Tiwari  was also admitted to the same hospital where she received a call from their home about her son being “unwell and bleeding from nose,” he said.
