Many questions linger over BBMP Deputy Mayor’s death
Bengaluru, Oct 06: Many doubts have arisen over the death of Ramila Umashankar(44), who died on Friday after getting elected as the deputy mayor of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) a few days ago, reports the Newindianexpress.com.
The hospital, where Ramila was taken after she complained of breathlessness, has reportedly claimed that she was ‘brought dead.’ But, doctors were unable to establish the cause of death though she was there for a few hours, said the report.
However, another doctor who was not associated with that hospital certified it as a natural death due to cardiac arrest.
The New Indian Express has also reported that Ramila, the first-time councillor from Kaveripura ward in Govindaraja Nagar assembly constituency, was initially taken to a nearby hospital at around 12.50 am where the hospital authorities said she was ‘brought dead.’
The report also mentioned that the hospital was unable to certify the death as being caused due to cardiac arrest while informing the Basaveshwara Nagar police about the deputy mayor’s death. It also said no post-mortem was conducted to establish the cause of death. The certification of the cause of death was, instead, issued by a different doctor known to the family.

Hemant Soren to take oath as 14th CM of Jharkhand on Thursday
Ranchi (PTI): Hemant Soren is set to take oath as the 14th chief minister of Jharkhand in a grand ceremony here on Thursday, which will be attended by several top political leaders, including AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Soren at 4 pm.
This will be the 49-year-old JMM leader's fourth stint as chief minister.
Soren retained the Barhait seat, defeating BJP's Gamliyel Hembrom by a margin of 39,791 votes in the recent assembly polls. The JMM-led alliance stormed to victory, securing 56 seats in the 81-member assembly, while the BJP-led NDA managed 24 seats.
Posters for the event can be seen across the city, while security has been strengthened and traffic regulations put in place.
Schools in Ranchi city are shut on Thursday in view of the swearing in of the Hemant Soren government.
Jharkhand in-charge and Congress general secretary Ghulam Ahmad Mir said Soren is likely to take oath alone, and expansion of the cabinet will be held after a vote of confidence in the assembly.
Other senior political leaders likely to be in attendance are NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, a JMM leader said.
CPI(ML)L general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti and Bihar’s Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav are also likely to attend the oath-taking ceremony.
"It’s heartening to have such esteemed leaders join us for this important occasion," said Soren, who along with senior officials paid a visit to the Morabadi ground on Wednesday evening to take stock of the arrangements.
