A 14-year-old girl archer was critically injured inside the premises of Sports Authority of India in Bolpur, West Bengal during practice.
According to Times Now report, there were two minors practicing archery when one of them, a boy, shot an arrow which hit the girl on her neck. What is raising questions is that there was no coach to supervise or instruct the minors while practicing.

The girl's family was called immediately and she was then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. She is in a critical condition at the moment.
Jewel Sheikh, a fellow archer, was quoted saying to Times Now that they were a team of four which got reduced to only two of them. "It was an accident that the arrow hit the girl's neck all of a sudden while practicing," Sheikh, who is from Behrampore, said.
