The H1N1 death toll rose to six on Monday after a 35-year-old ayurvedic doctor and a four-year-old boy died in Pune and Chennai respectively.
Babasahib Mane is the third person to lose his life due to the H1N1 virus in Pune.
Mane was ailing for sometime and there was blood in his cough for the last couple of days, officials said.
The four-year-old Chennai boy, who was struggling for his life after a multiple organ failure and also tested positive for swine flu, finally succumbed to his diseases at a private hospital in Chennai on Monday morning.
Sanjay Balakrishnan was admitted to the hospital when he suffered kidney failure early last week. He was already a chronic asthma patient, said doctors. While at the hospital, his condition worsened, and was put on a ventilator and dialysis unit by doctors at Mehta Hospital in Chennai.

When he showed signs of the flu, samples were sent for testing to the Kings Institute which returned positive on Saturday. His health fell rapidly leading to a multiple organ failure including his kidneys and liver on Sunday. However, it is not yet clear if the virus caused his death.
“His father had gone to Singapore recently. We don’t know if he was the carrier,” said an official.
According to sources, Sanjay’s 11-year-old elder brother and two of their neighbours in the apartment complex have also been tested positive.
On Sunday, an Atlanta-based NRI and a teacher died within an hour of each other in Ahmedabad and Pune respectively.
