Singer Nitin Bali, who was celebrated for his '90s renditions, including Neele Neele Ambar and Ek Ajnabee, passed away yesterday after battling the head injuries he sustained in a road accident. Bali reportedly refused admission when first brought to the hospital in the wee hours of Tuesday. His condition deteriorated later in the day, and he succumbed to his injuries last evening.

According to the police, Bali's car dashed into a speed breaker at 12.30 am on Tuesday. Passers-by on Borivali East's SV Road informed the control room, following which Bali was admitted to Kandivali-based Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Shatabdi Hospital. The singer, however, applied for voluntary discharge following first-aid treatment.
