Former Karnataka CM Bommai undergoes heart surgery
Bengaluru (PTI): Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has undergone a coronary artery bypass surgery, and is recovering at a private hospital here, sources close to him said.
Coronary artery bypass surgery is done to restore blood flow around a blocked heart artery.
Informing his followers that he has had surgery, Bommai said in a post on social media platform X that he is now “taking complete rest as advised by the doctors.”
Stating that he is eagerly waiting to come back as soon as possible after full recovery, the 63-year-old BJP leader, who underwent the surgery on Monday, told his well wishers and followers: “As I am currently in the hospital, if you all come to see me in the hospital, it will disturb other patients…therefore, I request you not to come to the hospital.”
“Your good wishes have made me mentally stronger and I will return to public service soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who wished me well,” added Bommai.
Bommai’s predecessor as chief minister BS Yediyurappa, in a post on X, wished him a speedy recovery.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
