"Heartfelt condolences to Dr Pande's family. He retired from AIIMS after a long service but continued to work in another hospital until his unfortunate demise this week due to coronavirus. Delhi salutes you sir. RIP," Kejriwal said in a tweet.

Pande, a pulmonologist and former head of the Department of Medicine at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here, had tested positive on Tuesday. He was 79-year-old and died at his residence with mild symptoms.

Pande was currently associated with the Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research -- a multi-specialty hospital in South Delhi.
