Prateek Yadav death case: Cardiac arrest led to death of Mulayam Singh's son, reveals autopsy report

The post-mortem report in the death of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s son Prateek has revealed that a blood clot was found in his body. According to the preliminary findings, the clot travelled from the lower part of the body to the upper region, leading to complications in the arteries and lungs.

Doctors stated that the condition caused severe infection in the arteries and lungs, which eventually resulted in cardiac arrest. The report suggests that cardiac arrest was the immediate cause of death.

Officials said more details are expected to emerge after the viscera report is completed. The final medical opinion will depend on the findings of the forensic examination.

The political corridors of Uttar Pradesh were engulfed in grief on Wednesday following the untimely demise of Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav. He was 38.

Prateek’s mortal remains were brought to his residence from the hospital, where family members, relatives, and senior Samajwadi Party leaders gathered to pay their last respects. His wife, Aparna Yadav, reached Lucknow from Assam soon after receiving the tragic news.
