Around 87 personnel from the BSF, CRPF, and ITBP arrived from various states for a parade and were shifted to Gandhinagar Civil Hospital after reporting fever and other health problems.
Out of the 87 personnel admitted over a 10-day period, 50 have fully recovered and been discharged, while 37 remain under treatment with stable and improving conditions.
Doctors' preliminary findings suggest that the personnel continued strenuous exercise despite having a fever and physical discomfort, which may have led to a cardiac arrest or heart attack, though the final cause will be confirmed by the post-mortem report.
