Popular Sambalpuri singer Ruksana Bano passed away while undergoing treatment at the prestigious AIIMS Bhubaneswar. After battling for life for the last 15 days, the famous singer died while undergoing treatment at AIIMS Bhubaneswar on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, reports are rife that the singer was allegedly murdered by slow poisoning. The serious allegations were brought by the singer’s family members who accused another Sambalpuri singer of slow poisoning their daughter to death.

There has been no confirmation in this regard. However, others claimed that Ruksana was affected by Scrub Typhus.

According to sources, Ruksana was shooting for a song when she fell ill 15 days back. She was first admitted to a hospital in Bhawanipatna on August 27. After preliminary treatment, she was later referred to Bolangir Bhima Bhoi Medical College and Hospital.

After her condition worsened, she was once again shifted to a private hospital in Bargarh from where she had to be shifted to Bhubaneswar AIIMS as there was no improvement in her health condition. However, she failed to recover and passed away while undergoing treatment.

No comments could be obtained from AIIMS authorities in this connection.
