Despite medical efforts this time, her condition remained critical, and she passed away during treatment.
Indira Devi was a retired school teacher and had been struggling with health problems for a long time.
Vasudev Devnani, born in Ajmer in 1948, married Indira Devi in 1974.
The couple has a son and two daughters.
