Cardiac arrest following a cry of joy to hear the news of grand alliance's victory meant the tragic end of a 25-year-old youth at Gavindapur village in Sreepur upazila in the district early yesterday. As Bishnu Pada Sarkar, the ill-fated youth, made a loud cry after seeing the result of grand alliance's landslide victory while watching television on Monday night, he had a cardiac attack. Bishnu died within minutes after he fell ill following his cry of joy, Bishnu's friend Siddhartho told this correspondent.
