Daruwalla, also known for his short stories, is survived by Anaheita and his other daughter Rookvain, sons-inlaw and four grandchildren.
The last rites will be performed on Friday evening at Parsi Aramgah near Khan Market.
Born in Lahore in 1937, Daruwalla studied at Government College in Ludhiana. He joined the Indian Police Services (Uttar Pradesh cadre) in 1958 and rose through the ranks to becoming special assistant on international affairs to then prime minister Charan Singh.
He later joined the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) where he was promoted to the rank of secretary, R&AW.
Even though he led a successful career in police and later at R&AW, it was his literary acumen that was most recognised.
