Officials said Devi was suffering from parenchymal haematoma, or bleeding inside the brain, for which she was treated at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi. Further, they said, her bank account had Rs 2,375.

Mangargaddi (Giridih):
THE JHARKHAND government has cited medical and bank records to deny reports that the death of a woman in Giridih last week was due to starvation. But her family maintains that “no food was cooked in the house since at least three days before she died”. And local officials are still to find out why the 58-year-old’s family did not possess a ration card.

On Tuesday, the Chief Minister’s Office said: “Every death is sad but there should be no politics on it. Before arriving at any conclusion, the facts should be inquired into first. We are all saddened by the death of sister Savitri Devi, but the inquiry report clearly establishes that the death was not due to hunger.”

Officials said Devi was suffering from parenchymal haematoma, or bleeding inside the brain, for which she was treated at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi. Further, they said, her bank account had Rs 2,375.

According to them, these facts were unearthed by an inquiry team, led by Additional Collector Ashok Kumar Sah, which reached Devi’s village Monday, two days after her death — the team’s main findings were released Tuesday.

But in Mangargaddi village, The Indian Express found that the probe findings presented only one part of the story. For instance, the fact that she had money in her account came to light only when her passbook was updated by officials after her death.

Chainpur panchayat mukhiya, Ram Prasad Mahato, said: “Savitri Devi had come to me two-three months ago to ask about her widow pension for which she was eligible in 2014. I checked and realised that her bank account was not linked with her Aadhaar. I got that done. On April 4, Rs 1,800 — pension for three months — was credited into her account. But she never checked her passbook. I came to know that she had that money in her account only after it was updated — after her death.”
