Odisha Singer Ruksana Bano Dies At 27, Family Alleges Poisoning

Renowned Sambalpuri singer Ruksana Bano has passed away while receiving treatment at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, according to hospital sources. The 27-year-old was reportedly being treated for Scrub Typhus, but the exact cause of her death, which occurred on Wednesday night, has not been disclosed by the hospital. However, her mother and sister have accused a rival singer from western Odisha of poisoning her, although they did not disclose the rival's identity.

They also claimed that Ruksana had previously received threats. "Around 15 days back, Ruksana fell ill while shooting in Bolangir after drinking some juice. She was admitted to a hospital in Bhawanipatna on August 27. After preliminary treatment, she was referred to Bhima Bhoi Medical College and Hospital in Bolangir and later shifted to a private hospital in Bargarh as her condition deteriorated. She was later brought to AIIMS Bhubaneswar as there was no improvement in her health condition," her sister Ruby Bano told reporters, according to PTI.

The mother of the deceased also released a video message reiterating these claims, which quickly went viral on social media.
