The deceased, Subash had been taking insulin injections twice a day, for the past five years. Initially, he was taking insulin shots four times a day, which was subsequently decreased to twice a day following treatment.

Jagadeesh, the boy’s father told The New Indian Express that his son was tired of the injections and wanted to stop taking it. Their family friends advised them to go for an acupuncture therapist.

Balamurgan advised the boy not to take the injections and that he would be healed through acupuncture. On May 20, Subash fell seriously ill and the family contacted

Balamurugan who said that it was normal and his health was getting better. The next day, he became unconscious and was declared dead when he was taken to a hospital.

Balamurgan told TNIE, “There are numerous patients whom I have cured. This case is one in a thousand and I do not guarantee saving life. They started taking treatment only after accepting my suggestion to stop the insulin injections.”

The family is reportedly yet to take any legal action.
