On June 5th, Balamurali was having fever and later tested for COVID19. Following this, he was admitted to the Mahanadi hostel on the IIT campus in Chennai and was isolated due to coronavirus infection.

He was taken to Rajiv Gandhi Hospital in two days as his condition was deteriorated. And his condition was informed to Chennai Police Commissioner AK Viswanathan. Following this, AK Viswanathan took care of Balamarali’s medical expenses of 2.25 lakhs.

Henceforth Balamurali’s health state improved. A medical team separately had monitored Balamurali. Yet his health has worsened once again today. He died subsequently without treatment for the evening.
