Health Minister B. Sriramulu’s mother Honnuramma died of age-related ailments in Ballari late on Thursday. She was 95 years old. Her last rites were completed around 5.30 a.m. on Friday in the presence of family members.

A few days ago, she, along with Mr. Sriramulu, tested positive for COVID-19 and was admitted to Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital in Bengaluru. A source close to the Minister’s family claimed that she had recovered and was shifted to her Ballari residence three days ago.

Officials in Ballari did not clarify whether it was a COVID-19 death. However, Deputy Commissioner S.S. Nakul said that “she was discharged from a Bengaluru hospital”, indicating that she had recovered from the infection.
