Ratan Tata on Monday termed as rumours the news about him being admitted to hospital in critical condition.

“I am aware of recent rumors circulating regarding my health and want to assure everyone that these claims are unfounded. I am currently undergoing medical check-ups due to my age and related medical conditions,” Tata posted on Instagram.

“There is no cause for concern. I remain in good spirits and request that the public and media respect refrain from spreading misinformation,” he added.

Earlier, a few publications and journalists including the Mumbai tabloid Mid-Day had reported on social media that the 86-year-old former chairman of Tata Sons had been “rushed” to hospital in critical condition.
