Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa suffered a cardiac arrest this evening, said Chennai-based Apollo Hospitals.
In a press release issued by the hospital, it stated that she is being treated and constantly monitored by experts, including cardiologists, pulmonologist and the critical care specialists.
This news comes in the backdrop of an AIIMS expert team confirming that she has completely recovered after over two months of hospitalisation, ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) said on Sunday.
"The AIIMS doctors visited the hospital yesterday and after examining her (Jayalalithaa's) health, they shared the good news with us that Amma (meaning mother as Jayalalithaa is fondly called by AIADMK cadres) has completely recovered," party spokesperson C Ponnaiyan told reporters.
Meanwhile, Governor C Vidyasagar Rao, who is holding additional charge, is rushing to Chennai, according to media reports.
Jayalalithaa was hospitalised on September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration. The hospital, which had been issuing bulletins on her health status, has said she was being treated for infection.
