Sundargarh, April 28: A 36-year-old woman allegedly suffered a heart attack and passed away just hours after losing her minor son to a snakebite. The incident occurred in Dengurpani village in Rajgangpur on Friday, April 26. Identified as Sukanti Kujur, the woman's six-year-old son Gyandeep was playing near their house when he was bitten by a poisonous snake around 5 pm.

As per a report by The New Indian Express, despite attempts by his father, identified as Amit, to treat him with traditional remedies at home, the young boy's condition worsened rapidly. Overwhelmed by grief and unable to cope with the loss, Sukanti, lost her consciousness and collapsed. As Gyandeep's health deteriorated, the family rushed him to the Rajgangpur community health centre, where he tragically passed away around 8 pm. Odisha Shocker: Man Dies of Heart Attack After Accident Kills Brother, Nephew in Keonjhar.
