Chennai
Dr Shilpa and nurse Helena were said to have asked about the treatment provided to Jayalalithaa during her hospitalisation. Their account is to be verified against the testimonies of doctors who had deposed thus far. The duo was also questioned about the timing of the cardiac arrest suffered by Jayalalithaa as contradictory accounts emerged during the course of investigation with the management stating that it occurred at 4.20 pm on December 4 and another Apollo staffer stating that it took place at 3.50 pm. Dr Shilpa and nurse Helena were also asked if Jayalalithaa had been fitted with a device that routinely monitored her blood sugar levels.
