Gaur, a second term cadet, was one of the 70 others participating in the practice run. He was shifted to military hospital immediately after collapse but all efforts to revive him failed, he said.
Police have registered a case of accidental death in the matter. The NDA is situated at Khadakwasla, around 20 km from Pune.
