Kolkata: In a freak incident, a class 6 student Sourajit Bera was injured after being struck by a javelin on his head during their school annual sports day event.
Sourajit, a student of Nayan Chandra Vidyapeth School in Howrah district, was immediately rushed to government-run SSKM hospital where the javelin was surgically removed. The surgery took one and a half hours which left the boy’s left side paralysed.
It is yet to be ascertained whether his parents will take action against the school.
