Gonda, June 8: Panic erupted in Gonda district’s tehsil on Monday when an elderly man suddenly fell ill and died while reviewing documents. The deceased has been identified as 60-year-old Anil Srivastava, a resident of Sitaram Puram Colony. He had come to the tehsil for a complaint and record-related work.

Initially, a heart attack is suspected as the potential cause of death. However, doctors have not yet confirmed this officially.
