A 54-year-old man named Ramnaresh Yadav passed away in the Bhagirathpura area of Indore, allegedly due to drinking contaminated water. Yadav, who had been unwell for over two weeks, was in the ICU for 15 days before his demise. His daughter, Prerna Yadav, blamed the contaminated water for his deteriorating health.
According to Prerna Yadav, her father initially suffered from diarrhea, which later led to a water-borne infection spreading throughout his body. Despite medical care, Yadav’s condition worsened with persistent vomiting and diarrhea, resulting in extreme weakness. The family shared that his liver and kidneys were severely affected, ultimately causing organ failure and his death.
Residents in Bhagirathpura have reported multiple cases of illnesses due to contaminated water over the past month, with some deaths suspected to be linked to the water quality issue. While authorities had mentioned around 20 deaths related to the contaminated water, locals fear the actual toll might be higher. Ramnaresh Yadav, the family’s main provider, left behind four daughters, some of whom are married, while others are yet to be settled.
Health officials have not yet confirmed the specific cause of Yadav’s death, awaiting further investigation to determine if it directly resulted from consuming contaminated water.
