Bhubaneswar: Senior journalist Ranjit Guru died while undergoing treatment at a private hospital here on Saturday midnight.

He breathed his last around 12.30 am. The 61-year-old journalist was with Sambad in a senior editorial position. He was also associated with the leading newspapers like ‘Anandabazar Patrika’ and ‘The Asian Age’.

According to sources, Guru was admitted to the KIMS Hospital on August 1 after he suffered a viral infection.
