A man dies in an ATM queue, due to lack of help!

According to the recent reports, a 53-year-old state man collapsed after a sudden heart attack and died in an ATM queue. Kallol Ray Chowdhuri, who is from Bandel joined the queue at 7am, he fell ill and collapsed on the ground.

Kallol Ray Chowdhuri was a government employee, complained of chest pain, and collapsed, but the people waiting in the line refused to quit the line to help the man. Kallol apparently lay writhing in pain for about 30 minutes even as the queue moved ahead.

By the time he was rushed to the Chinsura Hospital, he was declared dead at the time of admission. His family in Behala alleged negligence on the part of those present in the queue and said he would probably have survived had Ray Chowdhuri received immediate medical attention.

His elder brother Sailen Ray Chowdhuri received a call from the hospital informing him about the incident. "A local had called me even as Kallol was still lying there on the ground. I requested him to move him to a hospital and told him someone from the family would reach soon. But I suspect he was not taken to a hospital for at least 20 more minutes. It was cruel. I called his wife Seema and passed on the news."

However, his wife, Seema informed the sources later that she had spoken with her husband twice last night, and he sounded fine.
Seema said, "He sounded perfectly healthy, even though he has been anxious for money since last month. He had managed to withdraw very little from a branch in Chandrabhaga where he worked and has been telling me that he will try and withdraw some more in Kolkata. I wish he was moved to a hospital faster. He would definitely have survived."

Kallol is survived by his wife Seema and his 10-year-old son Subhadip is a Class IV student of Nava Nalanda School.
