Former CM Hemant Soren’s cousin passes away from kidney ailment

Jamshedpur: A cloud of sorrow has descended over the Chandil block of the adjoining Seraikela-Kharsawan district following the death of Anup Tuddu, cousin of former Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Tuddu, 50, succumbed to a severe kidney ailment late Sunday evening.

Anup Tuddu had been undergoing dialysis for the past couple of years due to an acute kidney problem. He fell gravely ill at his home in Chakulia village in Chandil on Sunday evening. His family rushed him to Brahmanand Superspeciality Hospital in Mango, where doctors declared him dead.

The last rites for Anup Tuddu will be conducted at his ancestral home in Chakulia village. Basant Soren, Hemant Soren’s elder brother, has already arrived in Chakulia, with Kalpana Soren scheduled to arrive there in the afternoon.

Despite doctors’ strong recommendations for a kidney transplant, Anup Tuddu chose not to proceed with the surgery. Instead, he remained actively involved in agricultural activities, maintaining the vigor of a healthy individual.

Tragically, Anup Tuddu’s elder brother, Kishore Tuddu, passed away from the same kidney ailment three years ago, and his eldest brother, Kapoor Bagi, is currently battling the same disease.

The loss of Anup Tuddu has left a significant void in the community, and his family and friends are mourning the passing of a beloved individual. His dedication to agriculture and his resilience in the face of a debilitating illness are remembered fondly by those who knew him.
