He was rushed to hospital before being transferred to Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences where he passed away just hours later.

Doctors ruled Mr Yadav had d.ied from complications due to over-eating the dozens of eggs.

His family have not commented on the tragic incident, police added.

Pl.e.ase stop eating eggs like this

Nutrition experts also warn that participating in eating competitions is very dangerous.

Eating too many eggs at once can cause indigestion, bloating, stomach ulcers, and even choking leading to d.eath.

Doctors say that eggs are a nutritious food source that is good for the body because they contain a lot of protein, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and antioxidants.

100g of eggs contain a lot of nutrients such as: 14.8g of protein, 11.6g of fat, 55mg of calcium, 270mg of iron, 47µg of folate, 210mg of phosphorus, 1.29µg of vitamin B12, 700µg of vitamin A, 1.36g of polyunsaturated fatty acids, 470mg of cholesterol and many other minerals, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

Although eggs are so good, eating too many eggs at once or eating them too quickly can cause many health problems.

Eating eggs in this way can lead to de.ath like the case of that Indian man.
