Ajay Padval was one of India's best downhill bikers

"My son lived his dream and unfortunately, he died because of it. But still, I appeal to all parents to encourage their wards into such sports. I am proud that my son inspired many like him," said Sheetal Padval, mother of 22-year-old downhill biker Ajay Padval, who died tragically after receiving delayed treatment for injuries he sustained post a steep fall in the Khardung La mountain pass in Ladakh.
