New Delhi: Apollo Hospital said on Thursday that all CCTV cameras in the intensive care unit were switched off during the 75-day hospitalisation of former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa. The hospital also said that all the patients in the ICU were shifted to other wards.
“Jayalalithaa got admitted and one ICU was completely occupied only by her. So they removed the (CCTV) footage because they did not want everyone to be watching,” Prathap C Reddy, founder chairman of Apollo hospitals told ANI on Thursday.
Jayalalithaa died at Apollo Hospital on December 5, 2016. Following her death, suspicion over the circumstances leading to her demise were raised by several persons, including deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam and his followers.
