A 15-year-old boy of ninth standard got crushed under a heavy pitch. The police logged complaints against the responsible coaches.

According to a report from the Times of India, the tragedy happened on Saturday. The teen, identified as Arav Chaudhary, is a student of Class IX and is waiting to get promoted to Class XI.

He requested his father, Viren Chaudhury, to get himself enrolled in a professional cricket coaching camp. Agreeing to that, he took his son to a cricket summer camp in Solapur.

There, in the morning, around 7:30 AM, the children were asked to roll down the pitch. There were 12-15 students who were entitled to the heavy roller. However, as per reports, there was no adult supervision.

While rolling, the ball slipped and fell down. Unaware of the situation, the boys rolled down the roller, and it went over the victim.

Soon after that, the boy was rushed to the hospital near the camp. There, he was declared dead. The body underwent a postmortem. The report claimed the examination result has been reserved.
