Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party President, Pawan Kalyan’s eight-year-old son, Mark Shankar, sustained injuries in a fire accident at his school in Singapore on April 8, 2025. He suffered burns on his hands and legs and experienced respiratory issues due to smoke inhalation. Mark is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Singapore.
Pawan Kalyan, who was on an official tour in the Alluri Sitarama Raju district of Andhra Pradesh, has decided to cut short his visit to be with his son. He stated, “I promised the villagers in Kuridi near Araku Valley that I would visit them as per the schedule, and I am committed to completing the tour.” He plans to depart for Singapore immediately after finalizing arrangements for a development program in the tribal area.
Further updates on Mark Shankar’s condition are awaited. The cause of the fire at the school has not been disclosed yet.
