It is worth mentioning that Ravichandran was a member of the Congress Campaign Committee. He was addressing a press conference at the Press Club against the Governor's sanction for the prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysuru land scam case. Police said Ravichandran was rushed to Fortis Hospital on Cunningham Road for treatment after suffering a heart attack but he died before reaching the hospital.
Karnataka Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot has sanctioned a probe against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over alleged irregularities in land allotment by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), triggering protests by the ruling party across the state.
