Bengaluru, Jan 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) A 14-year-old school girl died following "a cardiac arrest" during a dance session in a Karnataka village near the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), police said on Saturday.
"According to a video clip in the social media, the victim (Pujitha), a Class 9 student of a private school at Gollahalli village in Kolar district, collapsed while dancing with other students on Thursday.

KGF town is 30km from Gollahalli and 100km east of Bengaluru on the old Madras Road in the southern state.
