Indian economist Amartya Sen's daughter Nandana has rejected reports about his death and said that the Nobel Laureate is fine and 'as busy as ever'. 

Fake news about Amartya Sen's death started doing rounds after an account with the name and picture of Claudia Goldin, the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Economics tweeted that Amartya Sen had died. 

However, his daughter set the record straight saying Sen had just spent a week with her in Cambridge. 

'Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine. We just spent a wonderful week together w/ family in Cambridge—his hug was as strong as always last night when we said bye! He is teaching 2 courses a week at Harvard, working on his gender book—busy as ever!' Nandana Sen tweeted.
