His aunt, Ela Gandhi says the family is devastated.
"He was a person who was always vibrant, he did everything with love for people and for the work that he did. He was in many institutions and had thousands of people around him," said Gandhi.
"He had a very good outreach programme which he ran where he gave food parcels to people."
