The person identified as Pradip Barua of Barua Store, Police Bazaar, in his 50s, went to the podium to translate the speech of a Bubdhist monk and after translating a few words, he collapsed at around 5.15 pm near the lectern.

Doctors present at the venue tried to save his life, but in vain. He was immediately rushed to a private hospital where the doctors declared him dead.
