A Ganeshamurthi of the MDMK, the sitting Lok Sabha MP from Erode, was on Sunday hospitalised, with his condition stated to be serious by doctors.
According to police, at around 9:30 am today, Ganeshamurthi, who was elected on a DMK ticket in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls from here, developed uneasiness and was admitted to a private hospital here by his family members. After the check-up, he was admitted to the ICU and was put on a ventilator, police said.
When asked about reports that the MP might have attempted suicide, authorities at the private hospital in the town where he was initially referred to, refused to comment.
