Pranjal Sarkar, a 13-year-old boy from Agarpara, died in a stampede at the Chorbagan Sarbojanin Durgotsab Samiti pandal in north-central Kolkata during Durga Puja. The only visible injury was a shoe mark on his face, caused by the crowd surge. Pranjal had been fascinated by the pandal's 'Beyond Sound' theme and was visiting with his parents when the tragedy occurred, which claimed 19 lives.
