He had been admitted to Lilavati Hospital following ill-health. The 71-year-old music composer was suffering from a urinary infection causing a problem in his kidney, sources said.

Ravindra Jain was shifted from Wockhardt Hospital in Nagpur on Wednesday to Mumbai by a chartered air ambulance for treatment at Lilavati Hospital.

Ravindra Jain was unwell for quite some time and he was under treatment at the Lilavati Hospital. He went to Nagpur to keep his commitment for a programme which he had planned much earlier. He was in Nagpur for a concert on Sunday, but could not participate because of his health and was subsequently airlifted to Mumbai.
