In September last year, a 15-year-old boy died after a javelin thrown by another student during a practice session pierced his head at a school in Maharashtra’s Raigad district. Hujefa Daware had bent down to tie his shoelace and didn’t realise the pointed object was moving towards him.
The incident occurred at INT English School at Purar, Goregaon, in the Mangaon taluka of the district, when students were practising javelin throwing at the school's ground, he said. Daware was also a part of the javelin team preparing for a taluka-level meet. As the practice session was underway, a fellow student hurled a javelin.
