In shocking news, Nandamuri Taraka Ratna who has been under treatment for over three long weeks has passed away today. Just a while ago, the news was shared by the doctors. The news came as a surprise for one and all.
Taraka Ratna suffered a cardiac arrest while participating in Padayatra started by his cousin Nara Lokesh. After walking a brief distance, Taraka Ratna felt uneasy and fainted. He was shifted to a hospital in Kuppam initially. He was given primary treatment there.
Later, he was taken to the Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru for better treatment. A team of specialist doctors took care of him. Nandamuri Balakrishna was with him and he even spoke to the doctors.
Earlier it was reported that Taraka Ratna would be shifted abroad for a better treatment if the family members wanted. However that did not happen and he was treated at Bengaluru hospital only. The likes of Jr NTR and Kalyan Ram visited him.
Reports emerged earlier today saying that Taraka Ratna’s health is very critical and the doctors would announce the same in the health bulletin. Unfortunately, the reports appeared true and he passed away.
