Allegations are put against the National Federation (Cycle Polo Federation of India) in the death of ten-year-old cycle polo player Nidha Fathima due to food poisoning during treatment.
Nidha Fathima, a native of Ambalapuzha Kakazham, died in a private hospital. On Wednesday night, the child, who had vomited several times, was given medicine by the nurses in the team. She sought treatment at the hospital yesterday morning before going to the ground.
Despite being brought to a hospital, she reportedly passed away on Thursday morning just moments after receiving an injection. The hospital authorities say that the cause of death was an allergic reaction during the injection.
