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.

Hyderabad, Apr 12 (PTI): Opener Abhishek Sharma smashed a superb century and shared a 171-run partnership with Travis Head as Sunrisers Hyderabad made a mockery of the massive 245-run chase, registering an eight-wicket win against Punjab Kings here on Saturday.

SRH scored 247 for 2 with nine balls to spare.

Abhishek clobbered 141 off 55 deliveries studded with 14 fours and 10 big hits, while Head made 66 off 37 balls as the duo undid the good work done by Punjab Kings' captain Shreyas Iyer, who hit a 36-ball 82 after electing to bat first.

Abhishek also become the third-highest scorer in IPL history behind Chris Gayle (175 not out) and Brendon McCullum (158 not out).

Earlier, PBKS openers Priyansh Arya (36 off 13 balls) and Prabhsimran Singh (42 off 23) added 66 runs quickly before Iyer carried on the good work along with Nehal Wadhera (27).

Harshal Patel (4/42) emerged as the most successful SRH bowler, while Sri Lankan right-arm quick Eshan Malinga (2/45) took two wickets.
