State Animal Husbandry and Sports Minister Vakiti Srihari, who was present at the spot when Raju suddenly collapsed, immediately rushed to his aid and performed CPR in an attempt to revive him.
A video of the incident, showing the minister administering CPR to the unconscious official, has surfaced.
A doctor on duty at the Assembly also arrived at the scene, following which Raju was rushed to a nearby hospital in an ambulance. However, he died while being taken to the hospital, official sources said.
Raju is suspected to have suffered a cardiac arrest. The sudden incident left officials and others present on the Assembly premises shocked. The Telangana Secretariat Association expressed condolences over Raju’s death.
CPR is an emergency procedure performed when a person’s heart stops beating or they stop breathing. It helps maintain blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain and other vital organs until normal heart function is restored or medical assistance arrives.
Meanwhile, political tensions inside Telangana Assembly escalated over an alleged objectionable remark concerning Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar, with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy describing the incident as a “black day” for the state.
As BRS leaders intensified their protests, police arrested two BRS MLCs and later detained party working president KT Rama Rao.
KTR alleged that the Telangana Police were assisting Congress workers and leaders in reaching the residence of former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, or KCR, while preventing BRS leaders and workers from doing so.
“The police are helping those Congress goons and troublemakers who were driven out of the city; they are being taken to KCR’s residence,” he alleged.
