Jayalalithaa is being treated by a team of experts, including cardiologists, Apollo Hospitals said. Jaya’s supporters were in a deep shock after hearing the news of the cardiac arrest. Additional policemen have been deployed outside the hospital.

The 68-year-old leader suffered the cardiac arrest hours after AIADMK said that she will return home “soon” as an AIIMS expert team has confirmed that she has completely recovered after over two months of hospitalisation.

Jayalalithaa was hospitalised on September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration. The hospital, which had been issuing bulletins on her health status, had later said she was being treated for infection with respiratory support, among others.
