The incident came to light after the video was shared by a Twitter user.The now-viral video opens by showing the performer gracefully grooving on the stage. After some moment, as a part of his performance, he drops to the floor and then sits back to continue his performance. However, within seconds he can be seen losing his consciousness and then collapsing.The music continues, Yogesh can be seen lying on the ground, he moves a bit but sadly doesn't get up. It is saddening as well as scary to witness that countless people were watching all of this happening and none got up to help, as they all thought that it is part of his performance.Unfortunately, Yogesh lay there for more than a minute, but the audience didn't realise he was unconscious until the artist playing Shiva made his entry on the stage and checked him.According to a recent report in NDTV, after the crew realised the artist was unconscious, they rushed him to the hospital. The doctors there declared that he had passed away.Sadly, the number of such incidences in the recent past has witnessed an increase.
