Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mamata Banerjee, Arun Jaitley and a host of other political leaders on Wednesday condoled the death of Indian hockey legend Mohammed Shahid on Twitter.





Indian hockey legend Mohammad Shahid, known for his wizardly stick work during his playing days, passed away today due to multiple organ failure in a private hospital in Gurgaon.

The 56-year-old great was admitted to Medanta - the Medicity - earlier this month after a bout of jaundice and dengue made his condition worse. He was airlifted from Varanasi.

"He breathed his last at 10:45 this morning. It was multiple organ failure that led to his passing away. He will be taken to Varanasi and last rites will be performed there tomorrow," said Shahid's son Mohammed Saif.
