Former West Bengal minister Ujjal Biswas dies at 72 after a prolonged illness, according to reports from multiple outlets. The Hindu says Mamata Banerjee expresses grief, while NDTV and Times of India report the death without adding additional personal or medical detail beyond the age.
All three accounts reference Biswas’s role as a former minister and a former cabinet colleague of Mamata Banerjee. NDTV adds that Banerjee announces his death in a social media statement and offers condolences. The different emphasis across outlets is mainly on whether they foreground the cause of death and whether they specify the form of Mamata Banerjee’s message, rather than on any dispute about the basic facts of his death.
