During an examination, a student's health deteriorated due to heat, which led to his death in Bihar’s Samastipur. As per the officials, Bachelor of Arts (BA) Part 1 examinations were being conducted at Sant Kabir Mahavidyalaya located in the Mufassil area of Samastipur, when the student fainted.
Following this, the teacher and students present there took the student out of the room and helped him sit on a chair while the ambulance was informed. It is alleged that the ambulance arrived late. The deceased student has been identified as Amit Kumar.
