Mohasin, a lorry driver by profession, had returned to his native village of Chandankera in Chincholi taluk to celebrate the Moharram festival. While at home, he suddenly collapsed. Family members immediately attempted to rush him to the hospital, but he died on the way. The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Ratkal Police Station.

His untimely death follows a similar incident last week in Bengaluru, where a man collapsed inside a courtroom during a hearing. These back-to-back cases have sparked concern among health professionals and the public alike about the alarming rise in cardiac incidents among younger individuals.

Doctors have raised concerns over increasing sedentary lifestyles, poor sleep routines, and high screen exposure. They are urging the younger population to maintain regular physical activity, reduce screen time, and ensure quality sleep to reduce the risk of heart-related complications.

The pattern of cardiac deaths among young people has become a worrying trend in the state, prompting calls for greater awareness and preventive healthcare measures.
