A tragic incident unfolded at an HDFC Bank branch in Uttar Pradesh’s Mahoba district on June 19, when a 38-year-old bank employee suffered a fatal cardiac arrest while working at his laptop. The incident, captured on camera, has since gone viral across social media platforms.
The employee, identified as Rajesh Shinde, was seen in a minute-long video interacting with his colleague moments before collapsing. He suddenly leaned back in his chair, prompting his colleagues to rush to his aid. Despite their efforts to administer CPR, Shinde did not survive.
The viral footage has sparked widespread discussion online, with many expressing shock and concern over the incident. Social media users have called for greater awareness about CPR training, advocating for its inclusion as a compulsory course in schools to equip people with life-saving skills.
In recent months, similar incidents have raised awareness about the prevalence of cardiac arrests, emphasizing the importance of maintaining heart health through regular exercise and a balanced diet. The incident also echoes earlier cases, such as the sudden demise of Mumbai Cricket Association President Amol Kale in New York, underscoring the global impact of heart-related health issues.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare highlighted in a recent report that heart diseases accounted for a significant percentage of deaths in India, reinforcing the need for proactive measures in managing cardiac health nationwide.
