The retired soldier was performing to a patriotic song at a yoga event in Indore.
A yoga event in Indore witnessed heart-rending scenes on Friday when a retired soldier collapsed on stage, clutching the Indian flag, while delivering an enthusiastic performance on a patriotic song. Assuming that the fall was part of the act, the audience continued to clap for over a minute before one of the organisers realised that something had gone horribly wrong.
The retired soldier, Balwinder Singh Chhabra, had suffered a heart attack and he died on the spot.
A video shows Chhabra dancing to the song 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' at a free yoga camp organised by a group called the Aastha Yoga Kranti Abhiyan at Agrasen Dham in the city's Futi Kothi area. In the four-minute clip, the soldier can be seen dancing to the song, waving the Tricolour on occasion and even getting off the stage and encouraging the audience to clap along.
