Around nine in the morning on Thursday, an ambulance decorated with white flowers departed towards the Nigambodh Ghat crematorium at Kashmere Gate.

Dipoo, Raju’s brother, said to PTI: “Around nine in the morning, we departed from the Dwarka home for the funeral. Our Kanpur- and Lucknow-based relatives are present. It was touching to see so many of his supporters and coworkers gather to this location to honour Raju bhai (brother).” He added that the family has not yet decided on the location for the prayer gathering.
After 41 days in the hospital, the 58-year-old comedian passed away on Wednesday morning at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

His trainer then drove him to the hospital.

He began working in the entertainment sector in the late 1980s. He appeared in a number of movies, including Maine Pyaar Kiya and Baazigar.
