A chilling video has surfaced online and quickly gone viral. 27-year-old sanitation worker, Sachin Garu, tragically died of a heart attack while paying his bill at a hotel near TVS Square in Rajsamand, Rajasthan. The shocking incident, captured on the hotel’s CCTV camera, has raised alarm bells over the sudden spurt of cardiac deaths in India among youngsters.

According to reports, Sachin, employed by the Rajsamand Municipal Council, had finished a meal at the restaurant and approached the cash counter to settle his bill. Footage shows him casually taking a spoonful of fennel seeds from a bowl on the counter before the cashier handed him the receipt. Moments later, he collapsed onto the counter and fell to the floor, unresponsive. Hotel staff and bystanders rushed him to a nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival, attributing the cause to a massive heart attack.

Sachin’s father, Suresh Garu, serves in the Rajsamand police department, adding a poignant layer to the family’s loss. The video, widely shared on social media, has sparked public alarm, with many pointing to a disturbing rise in heart attack deaths among young Indians..

Authorities have not suggested the bill’s cost—undisclosed in reports—triggered the collapse, despite initial headlines implying shock at the amount. Instead, medical experts cited by Free Press Journal suggest underlying health factors likely played a role, a reminder of the growing cardiovascular risks in India’s youth.
