New Delhi, April 18 -- Vijay Kumar Singh, 80, father of former Delhi chief minister Atishi, passed away at a city hospital on Friday following a brief illness.
Singh, a former professor at University of Delhi, was remembered by many as an academic committed to education and public values. "He was a distinguished academician whose contributions to education will always be remembered," Delhi LG Taranjit Singh Sandhu said. AAP leader Manish Sisodia said Singh dedicated his life to education.
Singh was admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital a few days ago, where he breathed his last, a family member said. He will be cremated on Saturday at Lodhi Road crematorium.
He is survived by his wife, Tripta, and his daughters, Atishi and Rosa. HTC
