Mr Prem Singh Madhaik , father of the late SSP student Pranav Madhaik, with family friend, Mr Raj Menon on Oct 13.

Mr Madhaik, 51, told The Straits Times in an interview at the family’s home on Friday: “SSP has not given me any information. I want to know what exactly happened. We want to ensure that this doesn’t happen to any other child. Mr Madhaik said he is hoping for answers to several questions when he meets the school’s representatives on Friday evening. He is expected to be given a preliminary report on what happened to his son on Oct 5.

He said: “If we have a proper system in place there itself, we could have prevented this type of issue. The SSP is producing national players, so training is intense. They should have something there itself to handle the immediate emergencies, rather than having to wait for the ambulance and by the time you get there, the athlete is no more.

“He never moved, he never spoke. By the end, his organs had failed one by one, and we spoke to the doctor and took the decision,” said Mr Madhaik, who has two other sons aged 13 and 17.
