Prateek Yadav, the husband of BJP leader Aparna Yadav and stepbrother of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, died on Wednesday after collapsing at his home in Lucknow. Reports indicate that around 4 am, Prateek woke up to drink water when he suddenly fell, with a glass slipping from his hand. Initially, the attendant assumed he felt weak, but upon checking, they realized the seriousness of the situation. Prateek was taken to Civil Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Postmortem findings revealed he died from a massive pulmonary thromboembolism, a condition caused by a blood clot obstructing blood flow to the lungs. Prateek had been undergoing treatment for hypertension and pulmonary embolism and was on blood-thinning medications. He was the younger son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav and his second wife Sadhna Gupta. Although part of a significant political family, Prateek was known in Lucknow for his dedication to fitness rather than political ambitions. His final rites are set to take place at Baikunth Dham later today.
