Mufti Sayeed, J and K CM, is dead


The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) said he breathed his last at 9.10 a.m.
“We tried to revive him but failed to,” an AIIMS spokesperson told IANS.
Family sources in Srinagar told IANS that the death occurred due to multiple organ failure.
“Unfortunately, Mufti saab has expired,” a close aid, Waheed-Ur-Rehman Parra, told IANS in New Delhi.
A family member added that the doctors’ best efforts could not save Sayeed, who was brought to AIIMS on December 24 and put on ventilator three days back.
Sayeed, who first served as Jammu and Kashmir chief minister in 2002-05, took oath of office in alliance with the BJP this time on March 1 last year.
