Dr S Sankaranarayanan, a dental surgeon of Trichy, is one of the 17 people who died in a fire that devastated New Delhi’s Hotel Arpit Palace on Tuesday, his family members have confirmed. The 55-year-old, who suffocated in the smoke from the fire, is survived by his wife, a son and daughter.
The dental surgeon checked into the hotel on Monday night for a meeting scheduled with the drug controller general of India (DCGI) in New Delhi on Tuesday regarding his ‘freeze dried plasma’ project under Mothercell Regenerative Centre in Trichy.
“He had an appointment with the drug controller general in New Delhi for a meeting to discuss our ongoing project. But, tragedy struck him,” said his colleague and orthopaedic surgeon Dr V R Ravi in Trichy.
The news of the death reached his family after one of his colleagues tried to contact him over phone on Tuesday morning. Since his mobile phone number was unreachable, the colleague managed to contact the hotel and got to know that he was one of the deceased people.
Police soon contacted Sankaranarayanan’s family members and sent them the photo of the body to confirm his identity. On Wednesday, his family members visited the hospital in New Delhi where the body was kept. The funeral is scheduled to be held in Chennai’s Velachery area.
According to scientific co-ordinator D Avinash Gandi of the centre, two employees of Maharashtra-based private pharmaceutical companies who stayed with Sankaranarayanan also died in the accident.
