A 9-year-old child died due to drowning in the water park of Sehore near Bhopal. He had come to celebrate the weekend with his family and drowned while playing in the swimming pool.
When the family spotted, they rushed him to the hospital. Where the doctors declared him dead after examination.
The accident happened on Sunday morning. After the death of the child, the parents have donated their son's eyes.
Gaurav Rajput, resident of Bhopal, has a paper trading business. He had gone to Crescent Water Park on Sunday morning with his wife Archana, 9-year-old son Aarush, 2-year-old son Aarav and his sister-in-law. Aarush was swimming in the shallow part of the water park. Gaurav was on a slider in the upper half.
Aarush drowned in water while playing. When mother Archana noticed, she pulled him out of the water. Called out to father. Aarush's mother alleges that after the accident, she asked for a first aid kit from the water park management but did not get it.
Gaurav Rajput told that Aarush was studying third class from a private school located in Saket Nagar, Bhopal. Came to the water park on Sunday with the intention of spending quality time. The child was enjoying in the swimming pool with less water. There suddenly the child became unconscious. We did not even know that my child would be gone forever from the place where we had come with the intention of spending a good time.
He said, there was no life guard at the spot at the time of the accident. My wife and the people present there somehow pulled the child out of the water. Kept shouting for help, no one responsible from the management of the water park came. There was not even a stretcher, somehow the child was taken to the civil hospital. The doctors there declared the son dead after checking. We want to keep him bright, which is why we have decided to donate his eyes.
Crescent Water Park manager Mahipal said that 5-6 guards are deployed at every swimming pool in the park. We have our own ambulance. From there the child was taken to the hospital. The allegations of negligence are false. At present, the police is investigating the matter.
According to the information, there was three and a half feet of water in the pool in which the child drowned. The pool has been designed keeping children in mind. 80-100 families come here every day during summer season.
Accordingly, 400 to 500 people reach the water park every day. On Sunday this number doubles (about 1000 people). This is the reason why many times the entry here is closed after noon on Sunday. For this reason the child's family had arrived early today.
