The Incident:
During the Gujarat State Boxing Championship, 19-year-old boxer Karan Pipaliya suffered a head injury in the ring. With no ambulance on standby, crucial minutes were lost before he could be taken to a hospital. By the time medical professionals attended to him, his condition had worsened, and he was declared brain dead due to severe hemorrhaging.
