An accident occurred at Gokuldham High School, where a 14-year-old boy, who was a special child, allegedly drowned in the school’s swimming pool. The incident took place around 1.30 pm on Friday. The deceased has been identified as Shradul Arolkar, a resident of Yogi Nagar in Borivli. Shradul’s father, Sanjay Arolkar, 50, is a government employee working at the Dindoshi Session court. Shradul was the only son of the Arolkar family and was studying at Yashodham School, which is the Yashodham Counselling Centre branch of Gokuldham High School.
During the probe, it came to light that there were a total of five special students, including Shradul, who were practising in the swimming pool at the time of the incident. Along with the main swimming coach, Sagar Shanbagh, three swimming guards named Kiran Avle, Shanklesh More, and Praful Koli were present. Shradul had been honing his swimming skills in the same pool for the past six months and was considered an expert swimmer.
