Medical team sent to residence early morning

According to Dr Gupta, around 5.30 am, a driver from Prateek Yadav’s residence came to the hospital and asked for urgent medical help. In response, a medical officer was immediately sent to the house.

Prateek was later taken to Civil Hospital. Doctors examined him and declared him dead.

There were also reports claiming that he was found unconscious in the kitchen. When asked about these versions, Dr Gupta said different stories were circulating. However, he made it clear that nothing could be confirmed at that stage.

The exact cause of death has not yet been officially confirmed. A post-mortem examination is expected to provide clearer details.

On the same matter, Chief Medical Superintendent Dr Devesh Chandra Pandey said Prateek was brought dead at 5.55 am. He added that the police were informed immediately, and the body was sent for post-mortem procedures.

The rumours

After the news of his death spread, rumours about poisoning began circulating. These claims created confusion and concern among the public. However, the Civil Hospital directly addressed the issue and rejected the poisoning angle.

Dr Gupta stated that no medical evidence has been found to support the idea of poisoning. The hospital has not issued any report suggesting such a cause. Officials emphasised that the post-mortem report will play an important role in determining the real reason behind his death.

At this stage, authorities have only confirmed that he was brought dead to the hospital. Any conclusion about poisoning would depend on official medical findings, which are still awaited.

Previous hospital admission and health condition

Sources said Prateek Yadav was admitted to a private hospital in Lucknow on April 30 in a critical condition. He reportedly received treatment there for three days, after which his health improved slightly.

However, according to sources, he later returned home without informing doctors.

Reports also suggest that Prateek had been suffering from pulmonary embolism. This is a serious medical condition in which blood clots block arteries in the lungs. The condition can affect blood flow and may become life-threatening if complications develop.

Sources indicated that he had been dealing with this illness for some time before his death. However, official confirmation of the final cause will only come after the post-mortem examination.

The Samajwadi Party also cancelled its political engagements for the day. Leaders from various parties expressed condolences and support to the family.
