The child, identified as Shivam Kumar, ignored his family’s warning and ate the sweet despite being told not to. While running inside his home, he slipped and fell, causing the rasgulla to become lodged.
Family members rushed him to the local community health centre, where doctors deemed the situation critical and transferred him to Magadh Medical College. Before he could receive advanced care, Shivam was declared dead.
The tragedy has left the village in shock, with relatives grieving and local residents expressing disbelief at the sudden loss.
