A 50-year-old man died after he collapsed in the premises of a police station in Sikar district today, police said.

He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died, SHO Dataramgarh Sayar Singh said.

Heart attack could be the probable reason behind the death and the matter was being investigated, SP Sikar Haidar Ali said.

However, no reason has been given for the protest yet, Singh said.
