RIP Gopinath Munde dies in road accident
Rural Development Minister Gopinath Munde died on Tuesday after a head-on road collision in New Delhi. Munde was injured while driving to the capital's airport and died later in hospital.
Munde was deputy chief minister in Maharashtra from 1995 to 1999 and elected twice to the Lok Sabha, in 2009 and 2014. He had served as deputy leader of Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in parliament.
According to doctors, Munde was sitting on the back side of his Maruti SX4 car when the accident took place. A speeding Indica jumped a traffic signal and dashed into Munde’s car from the side at around 6.20 am. When Munde was brought to the hospital, there was no spontaneous breathing, no pulse, bilateral pupils dilated and no cardiac activity. A doctor said that CPR was immediately started and continued for about 50 minutes but he could not be revived. He said that Munde breathed his last at 7.20 am. Though the doctor did not confirm a cardiac arrest, he said that the death could have been caused due to a cardiac condition.
The doctor said, “Munde was hypertensive and a sugar patient. He was already taking medicines. Right now there are no major external injuries on his body. We cannot say anything but clinically we might say that he had a sudden cardiac death”.
