Around 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, the 58-year-old stand-up comedian was taken to the AIIMS emergency. A source from the media was quoted saying, "Srivastava had to be resuscitated thrice. He was rushed to the catheterisation lab and underwent angioplasty. He has been admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU)."

Ashok Srivastava, a cousin of Srivastava, claimed that the comedian experienced a heart attack while exercising. "He was doing his routine exercise and while he was on the treadmill, he suddenly fell down. He suffered a heart attack and was immediately taken to the AIIMS hospital," he said. Shikha Srivastava, the actor-wife of the comedian, has arrived in Delhi to be with him.
