The wife of the Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL) officer who collapsed during a CBI interrogation and died soon after has said her husband had no prior history of any cardiac ailment.
“My husband had no prior history of any cardiac ailment.… But I am told that he suddenly died of cardiac arrest. I don’t know how it happened,” an inconsolable Jaya Devi told this correspondent on Saturday night shortly before leaving for Ballia in Uttar Pradesh.
Her husband and ECL security officer Dhananjay Rai (not Roy as erroneously reported by this newspaper on Sunday) had died on Saturday after being questioned by the CBI as part of a probe into coal smuggling.
