Daughter Nandana denies news of 'death' of father Amartya Sen

Kolkata: Nobel prize winner Amartya Sen's family on Tuesday denied news circulated on social media that the economist has died. Earlier, several posts on X claiming that Sen had died went viral.

“It is fake news. I have just spent a week with him in our family home in Cambridge. He is absolutely fine, teaching two courses a week, as healthy as always,” the economist's daughter Nandana Dev Sen told PTI.

She also posted the denial on the micro-blogging site. (PTI)
