Do you know Gutka King Rusik Lal died of which disease on October 25 ?
Pune , October 25, 2017 :
Chairman of Manikchand group known as " Gutkha King" Rasiklal Manikchand Dhariwal dies of gland cancer in a private hospital in Pune. He was 78.
Hindustan has reported that he was suffering from parotid gland cancer that had spread.
Dhariwal started as a tobacco trader after inheriting the beedi business from his father.
Dhariwal later became a manufacturer of Gutkha and one of the biggest producers of the tobacco product in India.
It may be recalled that Dhariwal also remained in headlines for his alleged links with the underworld.
Dhariwal was born in Shirur tehsil of Pune district of Maharashtra.
Rasiklal Manikchand Dhariwal was a legendary name known for his infinite passion for business. Having built the group from the ground up, his journey from a small town to the echelons of enterprising conglomerate is nothing short of legendary.
RMD's father passed away when he was 14, a loss he suffered because of insufficient medicare at that time. That was when he resolved to make healthcare available to everyone. As he took on the reigns of business, education took a back seat. This became the core of his second resolve to support education wherever he could. Thus were sown the seeds of the Rasiklal Manikchand Dhariwal Foundation. A unique initiative that's silently making a difference in the lives of thousands.
