Kunal died of cardiac arrest in Patna on Sunday, his family said. A 1972-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, he was the chief of the Bihar State Board of Religious Trust (BSBRT) and the founder secretary of Patna’s Mahavir Mandir Trust, which runs several hospitals in the state.
“The demise of Acharya Kishore Kunal ji, Secretary of Mahavir Mandir Trust, is extremely sad and an irreparable loss to the social and religious field. Humble tributes to him! I pray to Lord Ram to grant a place to the departed soul at his feet and provide strength to the bereaved family and well-wishers to bear this immense loss,” Adityanath said in a post on X.
