  • At around 9 PM on Tuesday, Swaraj was rushed to Delhi's AIIMS after her health worsened. Doctors said she passed away due to a cardiac arrest.

    Swaraj, who had a kidney transplant about three years ago, had not been keeping well lately.

    She opted out of general elections. In the last term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she handled foreign ministry compassionately.
