The Hindu
He had returned from a trip to Russia just a fortnight ago
K.R. Vijayan, who shot into the limelight for his travels around the world along with wife, Mohana, using the savings from their small tea shop, died of a heart attack on Friday. The couple had returned from a trip to Russia just over a fortnight ago. He was 71.
He was planning his next trip to Japan and his wish list also included Vietnam and Cambodia.
The globetrotting tea-seller couple had visited 26 countries across six continents in the past 14 years and was featured in the national and international media.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
