Kota: A 16-year-old boy from Bihar, Arthav Ranjan, who had been preparing for IIT-JEE at a coaching institute in Kota for over one-and-a-half years, died at his rented accommodation in the city's Talwandi area on Sunday evening.
Arthav's mother was staying with him and ruled out suicide. Quoting his parents, police termed it a natural death, saying the boy was overweight and suffered from severe migraine.
The teen's parents said their son was receiving treatment for severe migraine. They refused to get the postmortem examination done, and took the body to their native place in Patna on Monday morning for the last rites.
DSP Yogesh Sharma said: "According to his mother, Arthav studied throughout the night on Saturday and went to bed Sunday morning after having breakfast and his prescribed tablets. When she tried to wake him up in the afternoon, she found the boy had vomited and was unconscious." The teen was rushed to a private hospital, where the doctor pronounced him dead. He most likely succumbed to a "silent heart attack", said the doctor who examined him.
