Azharuddin's son Ayazuddin dies in hospital

Hyderabad, September 16 (PTI) Ayazuddin, son of former
Indian cricket Captain Mohammad Azharuddin, died in a hospital
here on Friday five days after he was critically injured in an
accident involving his high-end sports bike.
The 16-year-old, the youngest son of the
cricketer-turned politician, succumbed to his injuries on
Friday morning at the Apollo Hospitals, doctors said. Details
are awaited.
Ayazuddin battled for life and remained on ventilator
support after he sustained critical injuries when the sports
bike he was riding on skidded off the road at Puppalguda on
Outer Ring Road (ORR) here last Sunday.
The budding cricketer remained in a "critical"
condition throughout even as tests indicated dysfunction of
his brain.
In a medical bulletin issued on Thursday, Apollo
Hospitals (Central Region) CEO Dr K Hari Prasad said, "Brain
function tests conducted on Ayazuddin (in the past few days)
indicate brain dysfunction. And his status remains critical."
Ayazuddin's cousin, Ajmal-ur-Rahman (16) who was riding
pillion, succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
