Police said that Yadav had accompanied his friend to the Bibiganj market area to eat eggs but suddenly an argument broke out between the two and they decided on a challenge of Rs2,000 for eating 50 eggs.
Subhash accepted the bet and began eating eggs.
He ate 41 eggs and just when he started eating the 42nd egg, he collapsed and fell unconscious.
He died hours later.

Cool hand Luke he ain’t.
He didn’t know to crack them first?
Fool Hand Yadov.
"My boy can eat 50 eggs."
IIRC that’s just about $200...maybe a bit less.
what we have here is failure to communicate..
They were egging him on.
Thus arises the term meaning of assassination by egg:
“Bibiganjicide “
I used to get a kick at watching contests like these;
blueberry pie eating contests at State Fairs and the like.
Now, not so much. I’m more disgusted at all the sloppy gluttony.
Why did that kill him? Seems like the human body would just vomit and keep on living.
Ooops...sorry...I thought it was South Africa Rand.Didn’t realize it was the Middle East.
I thought this was just a yolk.
George Kennedy and Paul Newman - what a pair. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
The yolk was on him.
What an eggciting way to go!
I don’t even remember egg eating as being a part of that movie. Of course, Cool Hand Luke is one of those films that was very popular for a long time. I never did see it, having already heard about it. Back then, almost anything Paul Newman did was instant Hollywood Gold.
I think he also did a movie about playing pool with the legendary Minnesota Fats. That was a big deal too.
I saw Donn Pierce, the author, in college. He was a buddy of my humanities professor. They showed the movie, then Pierce spoke.
The story was loosely based on his own experience on a P-farm in west Florida. Like an Obama autobiography, the characters were composites. Pierce was the actual egg eater, though the rest of that episode was portrayed accurately.
My Great Uncle John Coolac ate a 48 egg omelette while in the army. That was over 80 years ago, but the story stays alive. It did make him sick.
For my part I am two for two in eating contests, as a college student I won a Subway footlong eating contest (speed alone, eating one), and in high school I won a blueberry pie eating contest (small Table Talk, hands behind back, again, speed in eating one). You can go far in this area if you lack dignity on food matters. I have aged out, and my wife frowns on food eating contests anyway.
If they were ostrich eggs that would explain it.
