A 16-year-old student in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut collapsed after seeing his UP board Class 10 result. Anshul Kumar from Maharishi Dayanand Inter College Modipuram, Meerut, scored 93.5%. He was overjoyed upon scoring such a remarkable score. However, his happiness was short-lived as he suddenly collapsed moments later, leaving his family in shock.

As his family couldn’t revive him at home, his condition deteriorated. He was subsequently rushed to the hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU for treatment, reported India Today.

Anshul’s father, Sunil Kumar, who is a contract worker at the post office, recounted the distressing incident to India Today.

According to Anshul’s cousin Pushpendra, the student became stable after his admission to the ICU. He is still hospitalised and is undergoing further treatment.
