Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a heartbreaking incident, a Class 8 student participating in the march-past during his school’s annual Sports Day parade collapsed and passed away on Saturday.
The incident occurred at around 12 pm in The Bhavans’ Prominent School following the parade when all the participants halted and were standing on the ground after the march-past.
Suddenly, the boy started to feel uneasy and fell unconscious. He was then rushed to the nearby hospital where he was declared dead upon arrival.
The deceased was identified as Suvrat Dusad (14), a native of Dewas.
The school’s chief executive officer (CEO) Pratyush Kumar Singh Gaur said that on the occasion of the school’s annual Sports Day, a march-past was organised in which Suvrat also participated.

His parents were also present at the annual function who rushed to him along with the school staff. He was taken to a nearby private hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Boy diagnosed with chronic heart illness, kin refuse autopsy
School CEO Gaur said that the school management and his parents knew that Suvrat was diagnosed with a chronic illness.

They took his body to their native place in Dewas for final rites.
