Praveen Sood CBI Director

CBI Director Praveen Sood (IPS:1986:KN) was admitted to a private hospital in Hyderabad on Saturday after he developed sudden health complications while returning from a temple visit in Srisailam. Hospital sources confirmed that his condition is now stable.

Sood, who had arrived in Telangana two days ago, visited the Bhramarambika and Mallikarjuna Swamy temples in Srisailam on Friday. On his way back to Hyderabad the following morning, he reportedly fell unwell and was immediately shifted to a hospital in Jubilee Hills.

During his visit, the CBI chief also held internal discussions with agency officials. His trip to the city has drawn attention as it comes in the backdrop of the Telangana government’s recent decision to seek a CBI probe into the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project, a politically sensitive issue in the state.
