Death?[edit]

On May 9, 2011, an anon added the following sentence: "Mr.Shukla passed away in a recent visit to the small Texas town of Lueders, Texas." This remained in the article for nearly two years, but I can't find any evidence that it's true. Surely an Indian politician dying while on a visit to the US would have warranted coverage in both US and Indian newspapers. I suspect a hoax, so I've removed the claim.
