London: Angad Paul, son of NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul, has died after falling from his penthouse home in central London. Angad, 45, CEO of Caparo group founded by his father, suffered massive injuries after falling from an eighth storey building on Monday.
He was pronounced dead by paramedics who rushed to the scene. The London police said that it was inquiring into the circumstances of the incident but Angad’s death was being treated as non-suspicious at this stage.
