in Surat After Poison Consumption Attempt Surat: Shantilal Vasava, the 35-year-old younger brother of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Chaitar Vasava, was rushed to the New Civil Hospital in Surat in critical condition after attempting to end his life by consuming poison. He is currently under intensive care in the hospital's ICU, with family members revealing that he had been suffering from severe mental stress following his elder brother's seven-year prison sentence.
The incident came to light after Shantilal ingested poisonous medicine at his residence. Family members discovered his condition and immediately transported him to Surat for emergency medical treatment.
According to family members who rushed to the Surat hospital, Shantilal had been experiencing acute distress ever since the court sentenced MLA Chaitar Vasava to seven years in prison. The prolonged emotional strain associated with the legal sentence reportedly drove the 35-year-old to consume the lethal substance.
Medical teams at the New Civil Hospital are closely monitoring Shantilal's condition in the intensive care unit. Local authorities and family members remain present at the hospital campus as treatment continues.
