As per the sources, Jariwala had taken her usual pills on Friday night. In the afternoon, she had a shot of an injection—reportedly of the anti-aging drug. After consuming these, her blood pressure reportedly dropped drastically at night and she began shivering, prompting her family members to rush her to the hospital.
