Devendra Sandal, a husband who worked as a manager in Central Warehousing Corporation, had taken retirement three years early to care for his ailing wife, Tina, a heart patient.
While people were enjoying the party, Tina said to her husband, “Mujhe chakkar aa rahe hain (I am feeling dizzy)”. He helped her back to sit in the chair and massaged her back.
The husband and others around were heard saying, “Paani la dena, paani (get some water, please)”.
The husband tried to extend support to her. However, she collapsed, followed by calls for water. “Chakkar aa rahe hain, paani pilao,” attendees shouted.
The doctors declared her dead when she was rushed to the hospital. She had been remaining unwell for quite some time, and because of that, her husband had decided on early retirement.
