The passenger, B Peter Richard (60), was a Sydney resident and was travelling alone. Richard started bleeding from his mouth and nose while on board. He collapsed while going to the washroom. A co-passenger, who is a doctor, declared him dead.

The flight EK 440 landed at Mumbai airport around 7.30am. Medical and security personnel attended the arrival flight, said an Emirates spokesperson. "As soon as the flight landed in Mumbai, the Sahar airport police rushed Richard to a public hospital. An autopsy was carried out at the Cooper post-mortem examination centre and it was videographed," said a police officer.

Officials said that Richard was on medication and his medicines were found in his bag. "As he is a foreign national, the autopsy was videographed. The Australian embassy has been informed of the death. We conducted an inquest panchnama around 10.30am," an officer from Sahar police station said. "Based on the details in Richard's passport, the Australian embassy will locate his family in Sydney and inform them. The embassy will make arrangements to take Richard's body to Australia," the officer said. The Sahar police have recorded an accidental death case.

Forensic doctors at the post-mortem centre said that the cause of death has been reserved, pending chemical analysis and histopathology examination. The body will be moved out of the mortuary on Monday.

The Emirates official said that due to night-time arrival/departure restrictions in Adelaide, the aircraft returned to Dubai. "Passengers will be accommodated in hotels in Dubai and will re-board the delayed flight EK440 from Dubai to Adelaide at 11pm on Sunday," the spokesperson added.

Protest erupts against BJP leader who dubbed freedom fighter Doreswamy as ‘Pakistani agent’

News Network

February 27,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Congress leaders on Wednesday staged a protest in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue at Vidhana Soudha here against BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yathnal's alleged remarks accusing freedom fighter HS Doreswamy of being a "Pakistani agent".

Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah, KPCC working president Eashwar Khandre also joined the protest.

Yathnal on Tuesday called Doreswamy a fake freedom fighter and a Pakistani agent, while addressing the media.

His comments triggered a controversy drawing sharp remarks from Congress and other parties.

Congress has demanded an apology from Yathnal and has also urged that his Assembly membership be cancelled.

"Session proceedings will not continue until Yathnal apologises," said senior Congress leader HK Patil while addressing the protest earlier today.

Siddaramaiah asserted that making "provocative" comments against such a freedom fighter is obnoxious.

Former KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar said: "Yathnal is a criminal who had mentioned in his election affidavit that he had 27 cases against him. He has made such loose comments against the freedom fighter. He should apologise for his remarks."
