Santosh Koli ,an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate for Seemapuri assembly constituency who faced a fatal road accident on June 30 died in a Gurgaon hospital on August 7. She was 28.
Santosh,was from poor family in north-east Delhi, was associated with Kerjriwal, an anti-corruption activist, since 2002.
Santosh was riding to the party office with fellow party member Kuldeep when a car rammed the two-wheeler from the back near Pacific Mall in Kaushambi in Ghaziabad and sped away.
Santosh sustained severe brain injuries in the accident.
The impact of the collision was such that the motorcycle caught fire and was gutted.
Santosh was initially admitted to a private hospital at Kaushambi, Ghaziabad, where she underwent a brain surgery. Later, she was shifted to a private hospital in Gurgaon. Here, she underwent a minor surgery for removal of a clot in the brain.

AAP said that Santosh was being threatened on phone against contesting polls and hinted a conspiracy behind the accident.
So a case was registered at Link Road police station.
According to a report, Koli had earlier been attacked twice - once with blades and surgical knives.
After the accident on 11th July AAP launched ‘I am Santosh’ campaign' in which party tried to raise the entire legal permissible amount of Rs.14 lakh needed for her to contest the elections.

During his hunger strike against "inflated" power bills in New Delhi, Kejriwal had stayed at Koli's house in Sundar Nagri. Koli's father works at a garment factory.
"We all resolve that we will not let her sacrifice go in vain. We have to take her struggle forward," Arvind Tweeted.
Editor's homage: Santosh was an active anti-corruption activist and will always be a bright example in our hearts.
Her reason of death i.e accident doesn't seem to accidental but strikes as a conspiracy for three reasons
- Car driver who hit the Santosh's two wheeler ran away.
- She was getting life threats
- This was not the first time she was attacked.
