Padma Shri awardee and eminent cardiologist Dr K K Aggarwal,  who gained more prominence in recent months by posting informative videos about COVID-19 on social media, has died of the same disease, a statement posted on his Twitter handle said.

Aggarwal, 62, who was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here and was on ventilator support since last week, died at 11.30 pm on Monday after a lengthy battle with COVID-19, according to the statement.

The former Indian Medical Association (IMA) president is survived by wife Dr Veena Aggarwal, son Nilesh and daughter Naina.

Aggarwal was one of the first frontline workers to take the first dose of the anti-COVID vaccine in January, which he revealed during a live video broadcast from his car. The broadcast, however, was the subject of gossip because it was interrupted by his wife’s call and their personal conversation was heard by the general public.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal described his death as a “setback for the whole nation”.

“Passing away of Dr. KK Aggarwal is a setback for the whole nation. He acted all his life for the health rights of common people especially poor, deprived n marginalized. A great human being. RIP! (sic),” he wrote on Twitter.

A statement posted in the early hours of Tuesday on Aggarwal’s Twitter handle said he wanted his life to be celebrated and not mourned.
