Hyderabad : A 42-year-old businessman died after suffering a seizure at the crowded Gadwal bus station on Sunday morning, with CCTV footage showing people walking past him without offering assistance. The footage, which has since gone viral on social media, has sparked concern over the lack of response from bystanders as the man lay on the floor struggling for his life.
The incident occurred around 6 am on Sunday, according to Gadwal Town inspector T Sreenu. Sheikh Adam Vali (42), a native of Talupula village in Andhra Pradesh’s Anantapur district, used to sell pickle bottles in various parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

The footage has been widely shared on social media, drawing attention to the need for people to assist during medical emergencies rather than remain passive bystanders.
