“A Game Cut Short: Young Hyderabad Man Succumbs to Sudden Heart Attack”
In the bustling city of Hyderabad, a Sunday evening filled with laughter and sport turned tragic at Nagole Stadium. Gundla Rakesh, a vibrant 25-year-old from Tallada in Khammam district, was enjoying a lively shuttle badminton game with friends. A regular at the court and known for his active lifestyle, Rakesh was in his element, chasing shots and sharing banter. But in a heart-wrenching moment, he suddenly collapsed mid-game, leaving his friends in shock.
Frantic, his companions rushed him to a nearby hospital, hoping for a miracle. Doctors, however, delivered the devastating news: Rakesh had suffered a massive heart attack and had already passed away. The cause? A sudden cardiac arrest that no one saw coming. Employed at a private electronic car showroom in Hyderabad, Rakesh, the son of former Tallada deputy sarpanch Gundla Venkateshwarlu, seemed healthy and full of life, making his loss all the more unfathomable.
“He was so fit, always playing shuttle. How could this happen?” one of his friends lamented, echoing the disbelief that gripped his family and loved ones. The news sent ripples of sorrow through his community, leaving behind a void where his infectious energy once thrived.
Nagole police have registered a case and are investigating the incident, but the tragedy has sparked a larger conversation. Rakesh’s untimely death is a stark reminder of the rising cases of heart attacks among young people in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. It’s a wake-up call, urging the youth to stay vigilant about their health.
Stay healthy, stay safe. Regular check-ups could save lives.
