Rohit Shekhar Tiwari, son of late Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Narayan Datt Tiwari, was brought dead to the private hospital in Delhi on Tuesday.
According to prima facie, the 40-year-old was taken to the Max hospital in Saket, after his mother Ujjwala Tiwari, who was undergoing treatment in the same hospital, got a call regarding him being unwell and bleeding from nose.
Soon, his mother reached their residence in Defence Colony and Rohit was taken to the hospital, where he was declared brought dead by the doctors on duty, police had said.
Rohit had filed a paternity suit in 2008, seeking to declare ND Tiwari as his biological father.
