Here are some possible causes:
Low idle RPM: If your idle RPM is set too low, the bike may shut off when you put it in gear. You can consult a manual to see what the RPM should be.
Side stand switch: Most bikes have a safety switch that shuts down the engine if the side stand is still out. Check if the side stand is still out and if it is, try putting it up.
Clutch lever switch: Most bikes have an electrical switch in the clutch lever as a safety feature so that you can't start it in gear unless the clutch is in. This switch could be faulty.
Safety control box: This box checks all the safety features and kills the engine if needed. It could be faulty.
It's best to take your bike to a professional mechanic who can diagnose and fix the issue for you unless you can check off each of the above as the problem.
