Manjula hailing from Yelahanka met with a road accident on December 13 near the Bangalore airport. She was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and was later referred to Columbia Asia Hospital Hebbal for further treatment.

When the patient was brought to Columbia Asia Hospital Hebbal, doctors immediately examined her and realised that she had traumatic brain injury. Patient was unresponsive, her blood pressure was low and there was no brain activity. She was immediately put on ventilator. However, due to the severity of her brain injury she could not be saved.
