A 34-year-old ascetic, Swami Nigamananda , died here after fasting for two and a half months to save the river Ganga from pollution, yoga guru Baba Ramdev said Tuesday.
Nigamananda died here Monday at the same hospital where Ramdev was being treated until his discharge Tuesday.
"The saint was fasting for the Ganga since the last many days. He laid down his life for the Ganga. I pay my tribute to Swami Nigamananda," Ramdev told reporters.
Ramdev was admitted to the hospital June 10, the seventh day of his nine-day long fast, after his health deteriorated.
