Bengaluru Shame: Mechanic Dies of Heart Attack as City Looks Away

On this Special Report, the focus is on the tragic death of 34-year-old mechanic Venkataraman in Bengaluru. The India Today report by Sagai Raj highlights the apathy of the city as Venkataraman died of a heart attack while his wife, Roopa, begged for help on the road. The transcript details how the couple was turned away by Udbhav and Relife hospitals and denied an ambulance. The incident, which occurred in Banashankari, exposes the 'heart of stone' of Silicon City, where traffic moved on for five minutes before a Samaritan attempted CPR. The report questions the system and society that failed the victim.
