According to family sources, the entire incident was sudden and shocking. Rakesh Chandra Swami was perfectly fine on Monday evening and was preparing to have dinner when he suddenly suffered a brain stroke. He was immediately rushed to Bellevue Hospital in Mumbai, where his condition was critical. Consequently, he was placed on a ventilator in the ICU.
