Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday condoled the passing away of Times of India (TOI) Managing Editor Arindam Sengupta.
"An accomplished editor who was widely admired, Arindam Sengupta impacted many lives through journalism. Pained by his demise. RIP," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
Sengupta died at the age of 61 after battling cancer.
He had a long and distinguished association with the Times group, which he rejoined in 1991 after a previous stint from 1988 to 1990.
He joined The Economic Times as coordinating editor and later became editor of its Delhi edition before moving to TOI in March 2004.
