There is a cause for every death, especially if it is an unnatural death, and the post-mortem is crucial in the search for the cause of death. Balabhaskar’s father KC Unni had earlier said that death could have been avoided if the facts in the post-mortem report had been substantiated. Then how did death happen? The findings of the post – mortem show that Balabhaskar’s death was due to someone’s fall and unilateral decisions regarding treatment.

Here are some of the things that Balabhaskar’s father and relatives allege.

What are the allegations?

Balabhaskar’s father and relatives were probably the last to know about the accident. They were not informed of any of these matters in time. Balu’s relatives did not understand why Balu was rushed to a private hospital after talking to a doctor at the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College. The family believes that if the treatment had been started immediately, life could have been saved.

Dr. Faisal was on duty in the emergency department of the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College at the time. One thing is clear from his statement to the Crime Branch.

What was Dr. Faisal’s statement?

Dr. Faisal saw Balabhaskar on a trolley in front of the ortho section in the early hours of the morning on casualty duty. The doctor asked Balabhaskar what had happened.
The doctor also testified that no serious injuries were noticed.

These facts are the basis for the relatives’ allegation that the manager Prakash Thampi was not ready for any consultation as to which hospital he should be admitted to.

Even when he reached the private hospital, his relatives were severely neglected.
Attempts to evict the relatives from the hospital were unsuccessful, but others were able to exert more influence than the relatives in the ICU. Meanwhile, some were seen singing ‘Panappattu’ that there was a terrible feud between Balabhaskar and Lakshmi’s family.

Even those who come in with multiple injuries as many times as Balabhaskar suffered in the accident are returning home safely after treatment at the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College.

My experience

I remember my closest relative being seriously injured in a car accident. He was
rushed to a private hospital in the city by police, where he was pronounced dead at the scene. Only my friend Biju Muraleedharan and I were in the hospital. He called the doctor number given by PK Raju of the CPI
and told him that he had to save his life somehow and signed some papers. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. He was pronounced dead at a private hospital and regained consciousness 48 hours later.

In the case of relatives

Balabhaskar was supposed to start treatment by the time he was taken to the medical college. Or relatives could be consulted on where to seek treatment. KC Unni’s father’s allegation that both these incidents did not happen was not taken up by the Crime Branch.

If he had been treated in a medical college, he would not have been able to hijack everything he came up with, pretending to be a relative of those who came and went. The family could not be moved to tears by the likes and dislikes of the fans. Balabhaskar’s story did not turn out this way.
