Former prime minister Manmohan Singh, the architect of India’s economic reforms, died on Thursday night. He was 92.

Singh’s death was announced by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, where he was admitted to the emergency ward around 8.30 PM in a critical condition.

An AIIMS bulletin said “he was treated for age-related medical conditions and had sudden loss of consciousness at home” on December 26.

“Resuscitative measures were started immediately at home. He was brought to medical emergency at AIIMS Delhi at 8.06 pm. Despite all efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 9.51 pm,” said the bulletin.

Singh, who was prime minister for two terms in the Congress-led UPA government from 2004 to 2014, had been in poor health for the last few months.

He is survived by his wife Gurcharan Singh and three daughters.

Singh, who was finance minister under the then prime minister P V Narasimha Rao, was the architect and the brainchild of economic reforms in 1991 that pulled India from the brink of bankruptcy and ushered in an era of economic liberalisation that is widely believed to have changed the course of India’s economic trajectory.

Consumer protection watchdog CCPA will investigate ride-hailing apps for allegedly charging different fares for identical rides on Android and Apple devices, Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said on Thursday.

“This prima facie looks like unfair trade practice,” Joshi wrote on X, formerly Twitter, calling it a “blatant disregard” for consumers’ right to transparency.

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has been directed to conduct a detailed inquiry and submit a report at the earliest. The investigation will extend to other sectors including food delivery and ticket booking apps.

“Zero tolerance for consumer exploitation!” Joshi added.

The probe follows media reports highlighting price disparities between mobile platforms for the same journey.
