Kolkata: A 14-year-old archer from Sports Authority of India (Bolpur) had a close shave after an arrow pierced through the right side of her neck during a practice session.
Terming it 'accidental', SAI regional director MS Goindi said the arrow pierced through the collarbone of Fazila Khatun and she is 'out of danger' recovering at the hospital.
"A stray arrow hit hear near the collarbone luckily it's not pierced through the wind pipe," Goindi said. A misfired arrow from her fellow archer Jewel Shaikh hit Fazila.
In a video, she is seen with the arrow pierced through the skin in the right side of the neck at the hospital. A promising recurve archer, Fazila was picked as one of the 23 SAI trainees after a trial and district competition in July.
