A 75-year-old man dies of a heart attack after he complains of chest pain during a protest organized by the CJP at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park. The victim, identified as Gopalakrishna Subbaiya Pillai, arrives at the venue around 4:30 p.m. and feels unwell around 5 p.m., prompting immediate medical response.
According to police and hospital accounts reported by outlets, he is taken to Sushrusha Hospital in Shivaji Park for treatment. Despite efforts by police and medical staff, he is pronounced dead during the course of treatment. NDTV and other reports identify him as a resident of Thane, with one outlet specifying the Dosti West County (B Wing) address.
The differing coverage focuses mainly on details of the medical event and the protest’s stated demand. While all accounts link the death to the time of the protest and the heart attack diagnosis, one report emphasizes that the protest seeks the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police say further details are being verified.
