PATNA: A fun-filled momo-eating challenge with friends ended in tragedy after a youth died of asphyxiation in Bihar. The incident happened in Goplaganj in Bihar that saw 25-year-old Bipin Kumar Paswan playing with his life in the oddest way possible.

Bipin was a worker in a mobile repair shop. Like every day, after finishing work, he joined his friends and engaged in idle talk. After some time, the friends tried a hand at the Momo challenge which was quite popularised by youtube influencers. The challenge was to eat 150 momos in one go and was a paid one. Bipin satiated his appetite to the brim choking his mouth with momos but later started to feel uneasy. He stumbled on the street unconscious and was rushed to hospital. However, tragedy loomed when the doctors declared him brought dead.

Meanwhile, Bipin's father accused his friends of trying to kill him and alleged a conspiracy behind the death. He also raised the possibility of his friends adulterating the momos with poison. The police have registered a case but will wait for the medical report to emerge.
