In a shocking incident, a pharmacist-cum-production manager of an Ayurvedic product company in Chennai’s T.Nagar died after drinking a chemical preparation he reportedly formulated for tackling the Coronavirus.
The managing director of the company, who is an ophthamologist by qualification, was hospitalised after he fainted soon after he ingested the chemical component.
The deceased, K.Sivanesan, 47, of Perungudi, was with Chennai-based Sujatha Biotech, an Ayurvedic and herbal products company which was founded 30 years ago. It has a plant in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, where Sivanesan was working. Sivanesan had devised formulas of various products and used to visit his managing director Dr. Rajkumar frequently in the city.
Due to the lockdown, Sivanesan came to Chennai and stayed with his family in Perungudi. On Thursday morning, he procured the chemical component from a market in Parry’s Corner.
First he gave a small amount powder he derived from the chemical to 67 years-old Rajkumar who fainted after tasting it.
Even as he was being resuscitated, Sivanesan went into the kitchen of the house and gulped it in liquid form after adding water to it. He could not be revived.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, T.Nagar, Ashok Kumar, said, “Our investigation revealed that Sivanesan died after drinking the preparation he claimed would help COVID-19 patients. His managing director fainted after tasting it initially. Further investigation is on.”
Sivanesan was rushed to a private hospital in T.Nagar and declared dead by the doctors there. Later his body was shifted to Government Royapettah Hospital for post-mortem. Teynampet police registered a case under section 174 of Criminal Procedure Code for unnatural death.
N.S.Vasan, designer-cum-media manager of the company said, “Due to the lockdown, Sivanesan stayed in the city and one day told us he heard of some medicine from U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent speech for curing Coronavirus. He said it would bring more immunity and help to prevent COVID-19. Deciding to test the effect of the medicine, he went to Parry’s Corner and bought the powder.” He added that Sivanesan must have taken a heavy dosage of the ‘drug’ and he was killed instantly.

With all due respects, to all our brothern Hindus,
One thing sure, series of babas because who are not allowed to marry are indulged in rape, adultary cases.
Babas who called Godman became criminals.
Hindus should not be so stupid to allow these babas to commit more crime and spoil the name of Hinduism.
If you dont allow them, you are risking your daughters in a very dangererous state. May God really help.
why are the hording in hindi, do this people not respect kannada and kannadigas?
@Hari... In that matter, Kerala media did well. They didnt give much importance to Amit Shah's visit. Kerala media covered actor Dileep issue at that time. But cunning Shah brought national pro cheddi media there for his programmes
They are coming for spreading hatred and communal thinking.. should avoid them and should not attend thier programmes. Even media should not cover thier arrival with much importance
LOL... Yogi and Shah from the state, which has no sufficient toilets for people and they are talking about development... Greeeeaaaaat
Communal Yogi and shahspoiled Mangaluru' sacredness
I heard speech of Yogi, while he visited Kerala. Fool Yogi told Kerala govt to learn hospital treatments and life care from UP hospitals... See the irony - Yogi, who is the reason for death of 61 children ask to learn from hospital things to Kerala govt, where health care sector having no. 1 position among Indian states
Mangaluru was sacred place just before your arrival. You spoiled that with blood stains of 61 children and many raped women
See the face of swamis, really public are idiots
Sacred land with feku babas... Yogi better concentrate on your UP land. First try to develop your UP then give advice to others. Our manglore is developing and we do not need your advise. Try to correct law and order in your state. I wonder why you became CM.. Instead of that you could have become a sadhu or pandith. This will be good and suitable for you. Also try to learn the meaning of DEVELOPMENT!!!!
