Raj Bala, who was undergoing treatment for spinal injuries sustained in police action during yoga guru Ramdev's fast at Ramlila Maidan on June 4, died on Monday.

Doctors attending to the 51-year-old Gurgaon resident at the neurosurgery department ICU of G B Pant Hospital, said, "She passed away at 10.25 am".

Raj Bala was being treated for spinal injuries, they said.

Her condition was very critical from day one and her vital parameters were being maintained with increased pharmacological support, doctors said.

Admitted on June 4 with cervical spinal injuries after the midnight crackdown on Ramdev's supporters, Bala underwent surgery. She remained on ventilator since then and had become a quadriplegic.
