Gopal Das has been suffering from bipolar mental disorders and the disease affects again in case the administered medicines are not taken regularly. A patient usually behaves in an irritant manner.

“The patient (Gopal) initially came to me for medical consultation around 8-10 years ago. I treated him for a few years. However, the policeman did not come thereafter and for the last time, he visited for consultation nearly a year ago. Perhaps, he was not taking medicine as advised,” Tripathy stated.

Meanwhile, the Health Minister succumbed to severe bullet injuries while undergoing treatment.
