Probe into life policies of dead woman

A Garda investigation is under way in relation to life insurance policies worth €2.2m taken out on a woman who died in a tragic drowning accident in India last year, the Commercial Court has heard.

Probe into life policies of dead woman

Two insurance companies are refusing to pay out €1m on policies the widower of the woman is claiming because of the garda investigation into alleged fraud when the policies were taken out and because of the likelihood of the reactivation of the Indian police investigation into her death.

Madhava Reddy Gogireddy, a manufacturing operator from Carpenterstown Rd, Castleknock, Dublin, is suing Friends First Assurance Company and Irish Life Assurance, with which he had policies for his wife, Indira Suram. Each policy was for €500,000. She died following a drowning accident while swimming at the Royal Rivea Resort, Cyberabad, India, on May 14, 2014.
