Delhi loses three former chief ministers in less than a year

With Sushma Swaraj's demise late on the night of August 6, the national capital has lost three former chief ministers in less than a year.

Swaraj, who was the chief minister of Delhi for a brief period from October-December 1998, passed away due to a cardiac arrest. She was 67.

Three-time chief minister and veteran Congress leader Sheila Dikshit passed away in July this year due to cardiac arrest.

Diskhit and Swaraj died within a month of each other.
