SUGAR Cosmetics co-founder Vineeta Singh extended her condolences on the sudden death of Mumbai-based tech company Altruist Technologies’ CEO Rajalakshmi Vijay in a road accident.

“So shocking and heartbreaking. Really hope Raji’s family gets justice and the driver doesn’t get away with murder,” the Shark Tank India judge wrote tagging Mumbai Police and its commissioner.

She had tagged another tweet that said Vijay, affectionately called ‘Raji’ by friends, had just completed the Mumbai marathon. Singh too is into fitness, especially running.

Vijay was a frequent marathon runner and had just two months ago posted on LinkedIn about her completing the Tata Marathon, which took place on January 15.

She had been training rigorously for months for the Marathon and wrote about her experience on LinkedIn.

"I had forgotten the rigor, training, the mental and physical discipline it called for," Vijay wrote. "Sunday after Sunday for 3 months we did 20 kms, then 25, then 32 and a 35. The mind started to understand 42.195 kms,” she said.

She was keeping up with the running even after the marathon and tragedy struck suddenly.
