Srinagar, Dec 06(NVI): A CRPF man died of a cardiac arrest during a patrol duty late last night at Mattan area of South Kashmir’s Anantnag district, official sources said today.
They said constable Azad Ahmad Najar of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) B/96 Battalion passed away while on camp patrolling duty in the Mattan area of Anantnag district.
The incident occurred during his night shift, between 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM, when he suddenly collapsed due to what is suspected to be a cardiac arrest.
As per reports, at approximately 12:35 AM, Najar developed sudden syncope (loss of consciousness). His fellow personnel on duty responded promptly and rushed him to the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Mattan for immediate medical attention. However, upon arrival, the attending doctors declared him dead.
The initial medical examination conducted by the attending doctor suggests cardiac arrest as the likely cause of death. However, the exact cause will only be confirmed following the post-mortem examination, which is expected to shed more light on the incident.
Najar’s sudden demise has left his battalion and colleagues in shock, as he was reportedly healthy and showed no prior signs of medical distress. The CRPF authorities have extended their condolences to his family, who are being informed and supported in this difficult time.
