Kochi: Footage of MLA Uma Thomas falling from the 15-foot-high inauguration stage at the Kaloor International Stadium during the Mega Bharatanatyam event has surfaced. The video shows the MLA leaning towards a ribbon-tied stand before falling off the stage.

The video also captures Poornima, one of the main organisers of the event, accompanying the MLA on stage. Actor Sijoy Varghese is also seen in the footage. The incident occurred just before Uma Thomas approached the Kochi City Police Commissioner. The video clearly highlights that the necessary spacing and safety arrangements on the stage were inadequate.

The incident took place on Sunday during the Mega Bharatanatyam event at the Kaloor International Stadium, which aimed to achieve a Guinness World Record. MLA Uma Thomas sustained serious injuries, including severe head and lung damage. She is currently receiving treatment at a private hospital in Kochi.
