On Wednesday morning, a 21-year-old cadet from the 145th course of the National Defense Academy (NDA) who had suffered a head injury on October 16 during a boxing match passed away from his wound. With the 145th course scheduled to graduate from the academy by the end of November, Cadet Pratham Mahale held the position of Squadron Cadet Captain.
Dinesh Mali, Pratham’s cousin, said in an interview with The Indian Express that Pratham’s mother has requested a thorough investigation into the occurrence and the circumstances surrounding his death in order to determine whether all necessary safety precautions were taken during the boxing bout.
All about Pratham Mahale
The Sayagaon hamlet in the Chalisgaon taluka in the Maharashtra district of Jalgaon is the ancestral home of Pratham’s family. He is survived by his younger sister and parents, Gorakh and Sheetal, who are both teachers in Pimpalner town in the Dhule district.
Mali, a Sayagaon inhabitant as well, remarked the unfortunate incident was an irreparable loss since Pratham and his parents worked incredibly hard and made a lot of sacrifices to fulfil their shared childhood dream of joining the military.
His parents have both worked as educators in Pimpalner for some time. Pratham was born at Pimpalner as well, and the Sayagaon property and ancestral home belongs to the family. Pratham attended Satara Sainik School beginning in the fifth grade after completing his elementary schooling in Pimpalner. He had consistently set his sights on the NDA, according to Mali.
Just before the game, Pratham had a conversation with his father
The family was anxiously anticipating Pratham’s passing out parade by the end of November, for which the President of India was scheduled to attend. Just before the boxing match, Pratham last spoke to his father. He was particularly eager to participate because winning the sport would have given him extra points for his total performance.
Pratham’s mother has requested that a comprehensive investigation be carried out into the precise circumstances surrounding the tragedy, whether all safety precautions were taken for the boxing bout, and whether prompt medical treatment was offered. Even though the family has a lot of questions, they have shown great faith in the armed forces and organizations like the NDA.
