A 73-year-old died of a heart attack while dancing at a yoga camp in the Indore district of Madhya Pradesh on Friday, an organiser of the program said. A video of the incident that took place in the Phooti Khoti area of the city surfaced on social media. Rajkumar Jain, associated with the yoga camp, said that Balveer Singh Chhabra, who attended the camp with a group of people, was dressed in a costume and dancing to a patriotic song with the national flag in his hand.

"Chhabra suddenly fell unconscious and collapsed. Initially, we thought it was part of his performance, but when he did not get up for a minute, we got suspicious," he said, news agency PTI reported.

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."
