Dubey had slipped into a coma after suffering a massive epileptic attack, and was in hospital since September. He passed away Sunday, at the age of 75.

Some of his noted plays are 'Yayati', 'Hayavadana', 'Badal Sarkar', 'Aur Tota Bola', 'Aadhe Adhure', 'Khamosh! Adalat Jaari Hai' and 'A Raincoat For All Occasions'.
