In a tragic incident, a 14-year-old girl in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, died of a heart attack on Sunday, during the Champions Trophy final. According to eyewitnesses, Priyanshi Pandey, daughter of advocate Ajay Pandey, was watching the match with her family, enthusiastically cheering for Team India. Initial reports suggested that when Virat Kohli was dismissed for a single run, Priyanshi was overwhelmed with shock and emotion, which led to her fainting and eventually succumbing to a heart attack.Doctors confirmed that the cause of death was a heart attack, leaving the family and community in a state of shock and grief. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Priyanshi's father and neighbours revealed the truth behind the incident, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding her untimely death. Although her family members were not present at the time, a neighbour provided a detailed account of the incident. Priyanshi's father, Ajay Pandey, also shared his version of events over the phone.According to Mr Pandey, he had stepped out to the market after watching the first innings of the match. As the second innings commenced, his daughter joined the rest of the family in watching the game. Suddenly, Priyanshi fainted and collapsed.

Instead, he brought her remains home and performed the last rites. He also disputed the notion that his daughter's death was linked to her emotional response to the cricket match.

Mr Chandra revealed that he was outside Priyanshi's house when the incident occurred and had a clear view of the events unfolding.
