Sasikala’s husband, M Natarajan, complained of severe chest pain and was hospitalised on 16 March, and is now on ventilator support. His condition is critical.
According to a press release from the Gleneagles Global Hospital, he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a severe chest infection.
VaiKo, the MDMK supremo, and Thirumavalavan, leader of the VCK, visited the hospital to offer moral support. According to Dinamalar, a local Tamil daily, VaiKo told the press that he visited Natarajan as a friend, though the two are political adversaries.
In October last year, Natarajan underwent liver and kidney transplants. The body of the donor, an 18-year-old, was airlifted from Trichy to Chennai after a fatal accident.
