Asia Cup gold medallist kayaker run over by truck

BHOPAL: Two Indian Navy kayakers, including an Asia Cup gold medallist, were killed after a speeding truck rammed into their motorcycle and dragged it for nearly 20 metres in Bhopal early Sunday, reports Ramendra Singh. The deceased – chief petty officer Vishnu Raghunathan, 27, and petty officer Ananth Krishnan, 18, both from Kerala – were in Bhopal for a training camp with their naval unit. Raghunathan had won the gold medal in the 1000 m K-2 category at the 2024 Asia Cup in Hong Kong and earlier secured a bronze at an open international championship held in Bhopal in 2019. Rohit Nagar SHO said the accident occurred near Mubarakpur toll plaza between 2.30 am and 3 am. The truck sped away after the collision. Police said toll booth records and CCTV footage are being examined to identify and trace the truck and its driver.
