Ex-CM and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy undergoes heart surgery at Chennai hospital
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday underwent a "successful" heart surgery at Chennai's Apollo Hospital, his son and JD(S) leader Nikhil Kumaraswamy said.
This was the 64-year-old JD(S) state President's third such procedure after the ones in December 2007 and September 2017.
"With the wishes of fans, well-wishers, all JD(S) workers, people of the state, and by the grace of god, my father is healthy," Nikhil posted on 'X'.
"Heartfelt thanks on behalf of our family to everyone who prayed for my father's health. We are indebted to your love and trust," he added.
Kumaraswamy's brother H D Revanna, a former minister, said he would be back in Bengaluru on March 25 and thereafter undertake campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.

Kumaraswamy, a diabetic, on Tuesday said there is a flaw in his arteries' functioning since he was born.
"These tissue valves were put two times in the past, whose life span is 9-10 years. Issues had cropped up during my Israel visit (2017) ten years after the first valve was put. The second one has been damaged in six years, because after treatment, within 15-20 days, I started travelling to organise the party for the 2018 assembly polls," he said, stating that the hectic schedule might have had an adverse impact.
This time doctors have assured him that advanced treatment is available, he further said, adding that a doctor had also flown in from the USA, who is the student of his brother-in-law and noted cardiologist Dr C N Manjunath. Kumaraswamy had suffered a stroke in August last year.

UP: Govt hospital staff booked for sexually assaulting woman in pretext of ultrasound test
Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.
According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.
She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
