The rest of the family had temporarily shifted from their Gurgaon home to the B&amp;B so they could be closer to the hospital after being informed of Aggarwal\u2019s deteriorating condition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>\u201cHe kept asking for his son in his final days. We told him Vivek had gone to Jaipur and would come to see him soon. Every day, we gave him a new excuse,\u201d the relative said, struggling to hold back tears.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Relatievs said that Aggarwal repeatedly asked about his loved ones. As the days passed without a single visit from his wife, son, daughter-in-law or granddaughters, they sensed he had begun to feel that something was wrong.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>\u201c We could never bring ourselves to tell him the truth. Had he known, it would have shattered him and he might have lost the will to fight for his life,\u201d a relative said. \u201cMaybe if he had seen his son, he could have held on a little longer.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Aggarwal lost consciousness on Monday and died on Tuesday morning. With his death, the last surviving member of the family is gone.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>A total of 22 people were killed in the fire . In a statement on Tuesday, Max Hopsital, Saket, said that \u201c13 patients are currently admitted. <!-- -->Of them, 4 patients, all international, are planned for discharge today. At present, 6 patients are receiving care in the ICU, while 3 patients are in the wards. All admitted patients are clinically stable.\u201d A total of 37 people were injured in the fire, one of who later died.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Police have questioned Jay Mishra, who worked as an accountant for B&amp;B owner Lovkesh Bajaj, on Tuesday. Investigators also sought details about the operations and management of the establishment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Police sources said Mishra\u2019s statements will be corroborated with those of Bajaj and the chef, both of whom were arrested.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/76-year-old-who-lost-8-of-his-family-in-the-bb-blaze-dies\/articleshow\/131618747.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Radheshyam Aggarwal, the 76-year-old man who lost eight of his relatives in the devastating fire in Hauz Rani B&amp;B, has passed away.His family had chosen to stay in that B&amp;B to remain close to Aggarwal, who was in a private hospital in Saket with an acute lung infection.
