In a tragic turn of events, Head Constable Brij Kishor, aged 52, succumbed to a suspected heatstroke at Kanpur Central station on Tuesday, as confirmed by senior police officials on Wednesday.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Collectorganj) Mohd Mohsin Khan emphasized there was no negligence in the treatment provided to Kishor, a resident of Jhansi, who had been en route to his native place.
