New Delhi: A man portraying Lord Ram during a Ramlila performance in Delhi collapsed on stage and died on Saturday.

The incident took place during a performance at Jai Shri Ramleela Vishwakarma Nagar in Delhi’s Shahdara. The victim, identified as 45-year-old Sushil Kaushik, was a property dealer and had been playing the role of Lord Ram.
