Father collapses after heart attack, son becomes saviour
Ramraj, a 70-year-old resident of Delhi, also known as Raju, accompanied by his son serving in the Indian Navy, was visiting Agra to explore the Taj Mahal and other attractions with family. On Wednesday, around 12:30 PM, while inside the Taj Mahal, Raju suddenly suffered a heart attack, collapsing unconscious on the ground.
The quick-thinking son immediately laid his father on the ground, seeking medical assistance from the on-site security personnel. Before medical help arrived, the son initiated CPR, administering breaths and chest compressions. The son's video capturing the CPR efforts, uploaded on social media, is gaining widespread attention.
