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.
