Prateek Yadav Funeral: The sudden death of Prateek Yadav, son of late Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav and stepbrother of Akhilesh Yadav, has sparked widespread attention after post-mortem findings revealed both a fatal medical condition and several injuries on his body. Prateek Yadav, 38, died in Lucknow on Wednesday morning following what officials described as a prolonged illness. Doctors later confirmed that the immediate cause of death was sudden cardiac arrest linked to a massive pulmonary thromboembolism.
Funeral To Take Place At Baikunth Dham
The final rites of Prateek Yadav will be held on Thursday at 11 a.m. at Bhaisakund (Baikunth Dham) in Lucknow. Before the cremation, his mortal remains were kept at his residence on Vikramaditya Marg, where relatives, political leaders, supporters and close associates gathered to pay their respects.
Prateek was also the husband of Aparna Yadav, who announced the funeral details in an emotional message on X late Wednesday night.
“It is with profound sorrow that we inform you that the last rites of Shri Prateek Yadav ji, beloved son of the late former Chief Minister ‘Padma Vibhushan’ Shri Mulayam Singh Yadav ji and dear to all of us, will be performed tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM at Baikunth Dham (Bhainsakund).

Autopsy Points To Pulmonary Clotting
According to the post-mortem report, Prateek suffered from massive pulmonary thromboembolism, a serious condition in which blood clots travel from the legs or pelvic region to the lungs, blocking arteries and triggering cardiorespiratory collapse.
Medical officials stated that samples from the heart and lungs were preserved for histopathological examination. Meanwhile, viscera samples were retained for chemical analysis and handed over to law enforcement authorities for further investigation.
Civil Hospital Director Dr. G.P. Gupta said medical personnel were rushed to Prateek’s residence around 5 a.m. after reports of his worsening health condition. He was taken to the hospital soon after, where doctors declared him dead at 5:55 a.m.

Multiple Ante-Mortem Injuries Found
The autopsy report also documented six ante-mortem injuries across different parts of Prateek Yadav’s body, including the chest, right arm, forearm, elbow and left wrist. Doctors noted the presence of contusions and internal bleeding, medically referred to as ecchymosis.
Among the injuries, the largest measured 24×8 cm on the right forearm, while another significant injury measuring 19×12 cm was found on the back of the right arm. The report mentioned discoloration patterns indicating varying stages of healing.
Doctors clarified that all injuries had occurred before death. While the first three injuries were estimated to be between five and seven days old, the remaining injuries were believed to have occurred approximately one day earlier.
