The mystery shrouding Sadhvi Prem Baisa’s sudden death has been unraveled by Jodhpur Police, who ruled out foul play and confirmed cardiac arrest as the cause, rooted in advanced lung disease.
Commissioner Om Prakash’s disclosure on Saturday paints a clear picture: a medical board’s thorough analysis linked her demise to cardiopulmonary instability from severe respiratory conditions, potentially asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Advanced forensics, including February 12 FSL and histopathology reports, showed pristine results—no poison, no trauma, no assault markers. This followed organ samples tested post-February 2 dispatch.
Flashback to January 28: At Arti Nagar ashram in Boranada, symptoms of common cold escalated to breathing distress. Compounder Devi Singh intervened with injections, flouting protocols, and her health nosedived catastrophically.
Family ferried her to Pal Road’s Preksha Hospital in vain; death was official. Her father retrieved the body, but authorities secured it for January 29 postmortem at MGH, releasing it same day for Barmer cremation on January 30.
The case’s gravity prompted a multi-layered SIT probe, now incorporating fresh medical insights on drug impacts. Negligence by the compounder stands exposed, paving way for prosecution under IPC and Rajasthan’s 1952 Medical Act upon final clearance.
This resolution offers solace to legions of followers, reaffirming natural etiology while exposing gaps in ashram medical care. It serves as a stark reminder for protocol adherence in wellness scenarios.
