CT Ravi required only a simple bandage; Medical staff's letter on CT Ravi's injury goes viral
Bengaluru: A letter allegedly written by medical staff regarding the injury sustained by former minister and MLC CT Ravi has gone viral. The letter states that Ravi suffered a minor head injury, which required only a simple bandage as part of primary treatment.
The incident has become a focal point amid allegations that CT Ravi used objectionable language against Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar, sparking a heated political debate in Karnataka.
Minister Hebbalkar had also raised doubts about the injuries sustained by CT Ravi during his detention. In response, a health examination report from a primary health centre also surfaced, stating that Ravi was medically fit and had undergone routine checks before being presented in court.
The controversy originates from the final day of the Belagavi session, where CT Ravi allegedly used an offensive term, which drew widespread criticism. There were also allegations of an attack attempt on his vehicle near Suvarna Soudha, during which he reportedly sustained the injury.
After being discharged from the hospital, CT Ravi was seen wearing the bandage for three to four days.
