NDTV Haryana News | On Camera, Teen Basketball Player Dies In Freak Court Accident In Rohtak

Chandigarh: A 16-year-old national-level basketball player died in a freak accident in Haryana’s Rohtak after the basketball pole fell on his chest during practice. Hardik was practising in the court in Lakhan Majra yesterday when the pole, apparently not planted firmly, fell forward and crushed him. His friends rushed to help him, but the teen could not be saved.

Chilling CCTV footage of the incident shows Hardik practising alone in the court. He runs from the three-point line — the semi-circle with the pole in the middle — and jumps and touches the basket. Basketball players practise this move to improve their scoring abilities.

Hardik completes the first manoeuvre smoothly. He then goes at it again. This time, he clutches the basket’s rim and then, to his shock, the pole uproots and falls on him, its full weight on his chest. His friends and playmates, who must be taking a break, rush to the court. They lift the pole and rescue Hardik, but the damage was done. The 16-year-old sports talent died soon after.
