Yet another death at Jharkhand excise constable recruitment exam

Official sources said the deceased has been identified as Maramulla Maraya, a resident of Jamshedpur. He was referred to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences Ranchi Thursday.

Excise Department Secretary Manoj Kumar said: “One more person has died. We are waiting for the report. Preliminary report on the deaths of 12 people states that the aspirants lacked practice among others.”

Deputy Medical Superintendent RIMS Rajiv Ranjan told The Indian Express: “Patient was admitted after he had collapsed during the run. His blood pressure was very low and pulse rate high and there was fluid in the chest. The patient was gasping for breath so we had to put him on an invasive ventilator. Later it was also found he had acute kidney injury, which could be due to several reasons. The exact cause of death will be known only after the autopsy.”
