A 25-year-old groom named Pravin died of a heart attack moments after tying the mangalsutra during his wedding ceremony in Jamkhandi town, Karnataka’s Bagalkot district on 17 May 2025.
Sudden Chest Pain
Pravin’s legs began trembling shortly after completing the sacred ritual that bound him and his bride in matrimony.
He then complained of sudden chest pain before losing balance and collapsing to the ground in front of hundreds of shocked wedding guests.

His parents quickly rushed him to a nearby private hospital, but doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Pravin’s body has been sent for a post-mortem to determine the exact cause of his death.
According to local reports, funeral preparations are now taking place at the same venue where the wedding ceremony was held.
Rising Cases of Cardiac Arrests Among Young Indians
This incident adds to a growing list of heart-related fatalities among young people in India.
Just days before Pravin’s death, on 12 May, another groom passed away in Kanpur, India, shortly after his wedding ceremony.
The Kanpur groom had just sat in the car after the bride’s sendoff when he suddenly lost consciousness.
He died while being transported to the hospital.
In February, a 23-year-old woman collapsed and died from a heart attack while dancing at a sangeet ceremony during a wedding in Madhya Pradesh.

Weeks before that incident, a 14-year-old schoolboy from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh passed away due to cardiac arrest while training for a school sports event.
Medical professionals have noted these cases as part of a concerning pattern of heart-related deaths among India’s youth population.
