Rapthadu School Attack Accused Hemant Diagnosed with Pulmonary Embolism

Hemant, the accused in the electric saw attack on female students at a government high school in Rapthadu, Anantapur district, has been diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, a serious medical condition in which blood clots block blood vessels. Hemant had sustained severe injuries during police firing, following which blood circulation to his right leg was disrupted. As the affected leg developed tissue damage and began to deteriorate, doctors recently performed an amputation. Since then, he has been receiving treatment under the supervision of a specialised medical team at the Anantapur Government General Hospital.

Two days ago, Hemant reportedly experienced severe breathing difficulties and fell from his hospital bed. Following a CT scan, doctors diagnosed pulmonary embolism and initiated specialised treatment. Medical experts explained that pulmonary embolism is a potentially life-threatening complication that can occur after surgery. It develops when blood clots travel through the bloodstream and become lodged in the blood vessels of the lungs, obstructing normal blood flow. This can place significant strain on the heart and may lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. Doctors are continuing to monitor his condition closely.
