Chhabra was given CPR and rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead after ECG and other tests, Jain also said.

An official of the private hospital confirmed the statement of Jain, PTI reported.

Chhabra's son, Jagjit Singh, said his father had been performing patriotic dances for years and was active in social causes. And, the family has donated his eyes and skin.

After the video went viral on social media, a lot of comments from Netizens appeared with concern about possible medical support during the incident.

One user wrote, "Unfortunate death, it seems no one sensed his health condition despite so many people singing patriotic songs. Precious moments for any medical support to this deceased are also not utilised."

Another wrote, "Unfortunate that he passed away with so many around, no-one could sense his condition. A timely intervention & CPR could probably have saved him."

Another wrote, "Scary, no one around could sense the attack."
