Keralam Governor rushes to help passerby who collapses near Lok Bhavan
Rajendra Arlekar was leaving his official residence in Thiruvananthapuram for Onam celebrations when he noticed the person collapse and ensured the latter received medical help
Kerala's Governor, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, swiftly arrived to assist a man who fainted near the Lok Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram on August 19, 2026. The incident took place as the Governor was departing his official residence to join Onam festivities, according to a Lok Bhavan spokesperson. Upon seeing a man, later identified as Girish, collapse outside the Lok Bhavan, Arlekar exited his vehicle and immediately assessed the situation.
His staff provided water and cleaned Girish's face while Arlekar stayed with him, ensuring continuous medical attention. The Governor's team contacted Girish's family but, as they were not nearby, they could not provide immediate help. Arlekar then directed that Girish be transported to a hospital for a health evaluation to prevent further complications.
