The incident occurred at a court in Lakhan Majra, where the pole, reportedly not fixed properly, fell forward as Hardik held onto the rim while practising a dunk. The shocking video shows the teenager executing the move when the pole uprooted and crashed onto his chest. His friends rushed to pull him out and took him for help, but he succumbed to his injuries soon after.
