Hyderabad: A software engineer named Shyam Prasad, a resident of Alkapuri Colony in Manikonda, collapsed and died of a heart attack shortly after winning a Laddu auction with a bid of Rs 15 lakh.
Shyam Prasad had been actively involved in the Ganesh festival celebrations, participating with enthusiasm in the Laddu auction. The bidding had soared to Rs 15 lakh, and Shyam, after placing the winning bid, joined in the joyful festivities, including dancing at the Ganesh pandal.
