Coimbatore: DMK has sought a CB–CID probe into the death of Chennai Hospital managing director Dr Umashankar.
In a statement on Monday, DMK Rajya Sabha MP R S Bharathi said that a car ran over Dr Umashankar on January 23 killing him on the spot at Kannappa Nagar in Thudiyalur. “CCTV cameras in the locality did not function on that day. Complaints seeking a thorough probe into the death have raised doubts whether it was an accident, Bharathi said. Who ordered the arrest of Umashankar at lightning speed after a complaint of rental default was lodged? How did he die on the spot of the accident? These questions cannot be ignored.”TNN
