The BMRCL has denied allegations that its staff didn’t attend to an elderly man who collapsed inside a metro train and died later.
Baiyappanahalli police have booked BMRCL staff for causing death by negligence after 67-year-old Thimmegowda allegedly lay unattended at the MG Road metro station for about 20 minutes without medical assistance on July 20. The FIR is based on a complaint filed by Thimmegowda’s son, Muthuraj T, a BDA inspector.
A BMRCL statement detailed the chain of events and denied any lapse. It said the police case was “false and defamatory”.
