Amartya Sen’s daughter denies news of death of her father

New Delhi: Nandana Dev Sen, daughter of renowned economist Amartya Sen, has denied the news of the death of her father on Tuesday.

"Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine. We just spent a wonderful week together w/ family in Cambridge—his hug as strong as always last night when we said bye! He is teaching 2 courses a week at Harvard, working on his gender book—busy as ever!," she wrote on social media along with a latest photo of her father.

Earlier, an X (twitter) handle claiming to be this years’ Nobel prize winner in economics, Claudia Goldin, tweeted that Sen died minutes ago. 

Following this, several media houses reported the news quoting ‘Claudia’. However, the X account is a hoax.
