NWKRTC driver's body exhumed two months after he died allegedly of heart attack
Parents suspect cause of death to be unnatural
Dharwad: The body of a North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC) bus driver, who had allegedly died of heart attack in November 2025, was exhumed in Bhadrapur village of Annigeri taluk on Wednesday, after his parents expressed suspicion regarding the cause of their son's death.
The driver, Babajaan Chinnooru (51), had died on November 11. As his family had reportedly believed that he had died of heart attack, no post-mortem examination had been conducted then and his funeral rites were completed in Bhadrapur.
Later, however, Chinnooru's parents allegedly developed suspicion about the cause of his death, especially after noticing the behaviour of their daughter-in-law Wahidabi. They approached the Superintendent of Police and complained that their son had been murdered, opining an eye on their property being one of the possible reasons for the act.
The officer got the body of the bus driver exhumed in the presence of the tahsildar and got a post-mortem examination conducted on it.
Police have said that the cause of Chinnooru's death will be confirmed after the post-mortem report is received.
