WHEN WE INVITE FOREIGNERS FOR A PARTICULAR REASON IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE THEM NECESSARY PROTECTION , LIKE POLICE PROTECTION.LIFE GUARDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED IN THESE AREAS.

Firstly, my deepest sympathies. This is sad news.Now, i am deviating from the topic- A 12 year boy playing Under 19!! For me that is very impressive. Are we to take a leaf from India on how they nurture future talent playing for their country??
