Overview
- K Sivakumar, a former BPCL finance chief, wrote on LinkedIn that his 34-year-old daughter died on September 18 and that he then faced cash demands from an ambulance driver, police, crematorium staff and BBMP officials.
- He alleged an ambulance asked for money to move the body and that police at first resisted a post-mortem until his former employer intervened.
- Sivakumar said police later gave the FIR and post-mortem report only after openly demanding cash in a spot he noted lacked CCTV.
- He described repeated visits to BBMP for a death certificate, being told offices were empty due to a caste survey, and receiving the document only after paying more than official charges.
- The post drew widespread public outrage; India Today reported the post has since been deleted, and a VHP leader stated the city police chief spoke to Sivakumar and assured appropriate action.
