Vajpayee died on August 16 at 5.05 PM at AIIMS Hospital in Delhi. The 93-year-old was suffering from age-related issues and was admitted to hospital on June 11 after he complained of urinary tract infection and chest congestion.

He was on life support system and his health became critical on August 15 and a day later he died.

He was the prime minister of India from 1999 to 2004. But after 2009, he was rarely seen in public functions and remained confined to his house in Delhi (Krishna Menon Marg) as he started suffering from health-related issues.

The last rites of Vajpayee will be performed at 4 PM today in Delhi.
