Hyderabad, Sep 8: A shocking incident was reported at the Telangana Assembly on Tuesday when Raju, the personal secretary of IAS officer Naveen Mittal, suddenly collapsed inside the Assembly premises and later died.

Raju was serving as the personal secretary to Naveen Mittal, Principal Secretary of the Telangana Irrigation Department. According to reports, he suddenly fell unconscious while at the Assembly.

Minister Vakiti Srihari, who was present at the spot, immediately stepped in and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an effort to save him. However, his condition did not improve.

Raju was subsequently rushed to a hospital in an ambulance, where doctors declared him dead. Reports said that the sudden collapse was suspected to have been caused by cardiac arrest.

The incident left officials and others present at the Assembly premises shocked.

Meanwhile, political tensions also escalated in Telangana following an alleged objectionable remark concerning the Assembly Speaker.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy reportedly described the development as a “black day” for Telangana as protests by BRS leaders intensified. Police arrested two BRS MLCs amid the political unrest.

BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) was also detained by police during the continuing protests.

KTR alleged that the Telangana Police were facilitating the movement of Congress workers and leaders towards the residence of former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), while preventing BRS leaders and workers from proceeding towards the same location.

Further details regarding the incidents are awaited.
