The father of the deceased further informed to the doctor that Mahto was staying at a lodge in the Nutan Nagar colony limits of Hazaribagh Muffasil police station, where he was preparing for competitive exams. He has been suffering from toothache for the last one week.
Nunuchand said his son was hardworking and as a student, he had done excellent in his academics both in class 10 and 12 CBSE exams.
As per the reports, Mahto was influenced by several YouTube videos and consumed Kaner seeds instead of cross-checking the remedy with a doctor. The Hazaribagh civil surgeon S P Singh said that the seeds are highly dangerous and could be life-threatening.
