"Shocked to hear about the untimely demise of my colleague and friend Arvinder Singh. He worked tirelessly for his constituency. He will be missed," senior Congress leader Pawan Khera tweeted.

The 56-year-old is survived by his wife and two children, said Pawan Arora, Arvinder's brother-in-law.

Delhi Congress vice president Abhishek Dutt said, "Arvinder was my senior in school and was a very simple and good hearted person. He had also represented Delhi in cricket."

Singh was elected as an MLA from Deoli reserved constituency in Delhi in 2008 on a Congress ticket. He was also associated with the BJP for some time, said party leaders.
