Arumugasamy Commission Report – Summary
The report detailed that the former chief minister passed away on December 5, 2016, at 11:30 PM, according to Apollo Hospital. In contrast, witnesses stated that Jayalalithaa died on December 4, 2016, between 3 PM and 3:50 PM. The timing of the announcement was reportedly manipulated, involving actions such as sternotomy and CPR to mislead the public regarding the exact time of death.
Additionally, the report explored various aspects of the late CM’s hospitalization, which began on September 22, 2016, and the medical treatment she received during that period. This matter was thoroughly discussed in a cabinet meeting held in August, just two days after Justice Arumughaswamy presented the findings to CM M.K. Stalin.
Jayalalithaa’s passing on December 5, 2016, continues to raise questions and discussions. The commission, initiated by the previous AIADMK government, commenced its hearings on November 22, 2017, and was headed by a retired judge of the Madras High Court.
