So Sad: Due to AAP Rally. Ludhiana Woman Dies in Ambulance because of the Huge Traffic. Family Blames Kejriwal

A 60-year-old woman, Avtar Kaur, died after an ambulance got ‘stuck’ in a traffic jam allegedly caused by the AAP-LIP rally near the venue on Gill Road in Ludhiana on Sunday afternoon. The woman was suffering from low blood sugar and loose motions. Her family has alleged that the ambulance got stuck in a traffic jam caused due to the rally being addressed by Arvind Kejriwal.

Her son, Davinder Singh, has given a statement that “We were stuck in the traffic jam for 20-25 minutes. The jam was massive due to the rally and I repeatedly asked people to let the ambulance go but nobody gave us way. She unfortunately died in the ambulance.” The woman was being shifted from the Grewal Hospital to the Krishna Hospital at Model Town after her condition had deteriorated.

Alleging that it was due to a political party that his mother died, Singh later protested by lying on the road. ADCP Dhruv Dahiya said that after the death of the woman, her family protested on road. “They did not lodge any written complaint as of now and left after protesting for few minutes,” he said. Since there has been no formal complaint by the family, the matter has not been investigated for further probed. So no criminal charges have been lodged against AAP or Arvind Kejriwal.

Ashok Kumar, associated with Grewal Hospital also confirmed that due to traffic jam they were unable to move the ambulance and as the patient was in a serious condition. She could not be saved.
