Bhubaneswar, Jan 03 (UNI) A 14-year-old boy, who came here to attend the week long yoga science camp of yoga guru Ramdev organised at the Janata Maidan, was brought dead to the Capital Hospital from the camp today.

The boy, identified as Manoj Das, had come from Ersama in Jagatsinghpur district as he was suffering from rheumatic disease and heart ailment.

His brother Sarbeswar Das dropped him at the gate number 2 of the camp at 0430 hours this morning. Sarbeswar could not accompany his younger sibling as they had only one ticket.

When Manoj did not report after the camp session,a worried Sarbeswar telephoned his relatives and finally came to know that his brother was brought dead to the Capital Hospital from the yoga camp.

Sources said the boy had complained of chest pain and was found sitting near the OPD. The camp doctors who checked him advised that he should be immediately shifted to the hospital. The boy was rushed to the hospital but was declared 'brought dead' by the doctors.

When contacted, the Khurda Superintendent of Police said it was yet to be known whether the boy participated in the camp.
