A faculty member of the school said, "Farhan was a bright student. Our school begins at 7.45 am, but Farhan and his friends had come early and were playing in the school playground. They planned to take a break to get ready for the school prayers." "Then, Farhan complained of a pain in his chest and fainted. He was rushed to the Ruby Hall clinic in Wanawadi in our principal Vivek Gite's car and his mother was alerted. Doctors at the hospital claimed his heart was not functioning and pronounced him dead."
Undergoing treatment
Senior inspector of Kondhwa police station Milind Gaikwad said, "His mother and maternal uncle told us that in 2013, they got to know about a hole in his heart, for which he was undergoing treatment. But doctors had assured there was nothing to worry about, as he will be able to live a good life." "We are waiting for the viscera report. As per the initial report, his heart had stopped functioning. We are probing the case. His final rites will be performed as per Parsi rituals, after which his parents will approach us," said Gaikwad. Farhan's post mortem was conducted at the Sassoon general hospital. A doctor from the hospital said, "It seems to have been a cardiac arrest as the private hospital claims his heart was not functioning. There are no internal or external injuries. We have preserved his viscera."
