൲A youth from Delhi collapsed while attending the Sunburn electronic dance music festival in Dhargal village, north Goa, on Sunday.
♌According to a police official, the youth was rushed to a hospital after the incident but passed away while undergoing treatment, as reported by news agency PTI.
❀The deceased was identified as 26-year-old Karan Kashyap, a resident of Rohini in west Delhi.
ꦇThe exact cause of his death is still under investigation.
🍌"The incident occurred at 9:45 pm on Saturday. Kashyap collapsed and lost consciousness and was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mapusa. He died while receiving treatment," PTI quoted a Goa Police spokesperson.
🦂A post-mortem will be conducted at Goa Medical College and Hospital, and further action will be taken if any foul play is suspected, the Goa Police spokesperson added.
🌳The Sunburn festival is one of Goa's most popular year-end events. However, the EDM festival has often been a topic of political debate in the state. In 2019, three people died after collapsing at the festival, sparking strong reactions from local politicians.
🌞In a separate but similar incident, a 50-year-old woman attending her husband's retirement party in Kota, Rajasthan, collapsed and died last week.
