The wife of a 34-year-old motor mechanic has alleged that her husband died due to the lack of timely medical care and the apathy of passers-by after he suffered a heart attack and fell from his scooter
in the early hours of Saturday.
The deceased, Venkataraman, a resident of Balaji Nagar in Ittamadu, Banashankari III Stage, complained of severe chest pain around 3.30 am while at home, his wife Roopa K said.
Roopa immediately took him on their scooter to a nearby private hospital in Kathriguppe. However, she alleged that hospital authorities told her that no doctor was available and advised them to take him elsewhere.
They then went to another private hospital, where an ECG was conducted and doctors confirmed that Venkataraman had suffered a heart attack.
