    Patna: Mumbai-based drugmaker, Alkem Laboratories Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Samprada Singh expired on Saturday at the age of 92 years after a brief illness in Mumbai's Lilavati hospital.


    Confirmation to this effect was given by Singh's family members to IANS.


    "We would like to inform you that the Company's Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Directors of the Company, Shri Samprada Singh expired," Alkem Labs said in a BSE filing.


    Singh was among the richest persons of Bihar and a well-known industrialist. He was an inhabitant of Okari village in the Jahanabad district and completed his graduation from Patna University.
