New Delhi, April 15 (ANI): Marshal of the Indian Air Force Arjan Singh's wife, Teji, died here on Friday. She was 80.
Teji, who had been keeping unwell for sometime due to age-related illness, will be cremated on Sunday.
Born in Sargodha, Pakistan, on October 22, 1930, Teji had married Arjan Singh on February 15, 1948.
She leaves behind her husband, a daughter and a son.
