Telangana Minister Rescues Collapsed IAS Officer’s Aide with CPR at State Assembly
Hyderabad, Sept 8 — During a routine day at the Telangana Legislative Assembly, Raju, the personal secretary to senior IAS officer Naveen Mittal, suddenly fell unconscious on the premises. Witnesses say the situation was alarming, but the response was swift. State minister Vakiti Srihari, who was present nearby, immediately administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until medical personnel arrived.
The quick intervention is reported to have stabilized Raju’s condition, allowing paramedics to transport him for further care. While details of his health status remain private, officials confirmed that the minister’s prompt action likely prevented a more serious outcome.
The incident underscores the importance of emergency preparedness in public institutions and highlights a rare instance of a political figure directly engaging in life‑saving measures. For the South‑Asian diaspora, it serves as a reminder of the value of first‑aid training and the role community leaders can play beyond their official duties.
Authorities have not released further information on the cause of the collapse, and the assembly resumed its work after the emergency was addressed.
