This incident highlights a worrying trend of sudden cardiac arrests in the city.
In April, a 20-year-old engineering student also died of a heart attack in Hyderabad.
In September 2024, a software engineer passed away from cardiac arrest just hours after participating in a Laddu auction at a Ganesh pandal in Manikonda.
Other similar incidents have been reported in recent months, including a man working at a medical store in Hyderabad's Satyanarayana Swamy Colony, who collapsed and died in June, and a mechanic at a Hyundai showroom in Autonagar, who passed away in August due to a heart attack while repairing a car.
The rising number of sudden cardiac deaths has raised concerns, prompting calls for greater awareness of heart health and the importance of early medical intervention in emergencies.
