Pool death: Club under scanner
Zuri, a Class VIII student of Airport English High School, and her elder sister were inspired to take up swimming by aunt Rita Ghosh, who represented Bengal several times in waterpolo.
According to the club, the pool has 22 swimmers and six trainers. Zuri was under trainer Satishankar Bhattacharya. “The trainer was busy instructing the others when he noticed that the girl was missing. She had drifted some 10 feet away and was found at the bottom of six feet water,” said an office bearer of the club. Police are not suspecting any foul play in the death.
Zuri, a Class VIII student of Airport English High School, and her elder sister were inspired to take up swimming by aunt Rita Ghosh, who represented Bengal several times in waterpolo. Father Samir is a teacher at David Hare Teacher’s Training Institute.
The sisters were normally accompanied to the pool by their mother. But on Monday, Zuri insisted that she could manage on her own.
She was active and had gone on a trekking expedition to Darjeeling in June and was planning another one in December. “She was so fit and so much into sports,” said uncle Shyamal Chakraborty.
