AIADMK MLA AK Bose No More

Madurai: Ruling AIADMK MLA A K Bose, representing Thiruparankundram Assembly constituency, died due to a heart attack in the early hours today, his family said.

He was 69.

Bose complained of chest pain and was rushed to hospital but died on the way, they said.

"Bose was loyal to the AIADMK and J Jayalalithaa," a party statement said.

DMK Working President and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly M K Stalin also condoled Bose's death, saying it was a big loss to the people of Thiruparankundram. (PTI)
