Youth Dies After Fall in Madhya Pradesh Pool

In a separate incident, an 18-year-old boy died in Ratlam district, Madhya Pradesh, after falling into a Dolphin swimming pool and drowning. CCTV footage captured the sequence of events leading to the tragedy.

The Sequence of Events

At around 3:57 PM, Aniket was sitting with his legs crossed by the pool. Another youth, who was attempting to jump into the pool, accidentally kicked Aniket in the face. This caused Aniket to fall headfirst into the pool. His friends tried to search for him but were unable to locate him in time. It was only after they informed the swimming pool management that the search continued, though it took a while before Aniket’s body was found.

Delayed Response from Pool Management

Despite the frantic efforts of Aniket’s friends to locate him, it took the pool management a significant amount of time to find his body, which has raised concerns about the response time during such emergencies.
