Mathura: A labourer died after he allegedly suffered a cardiac arrest while standing in a bank queue in Mathura to withdraw money "for the treatment of his son".
Uma Shankar, a resident of Durga colony in Goverdhan, was queued outside the Govardhan branch of Central bank on Friday, to withdraw money for the treatment of his ailing son, when he suffered a cardiac arrest, police said.
