This came after Mayank Agarwal drank liquid from a pouch, which he thought was water, and was kept on his seat as he was on board with IndiGo Airlines. Now, it has come to light that the Indian cricketer has filed a police complaint through his manager to investigate the matter.

What happened?


Mayank had led Karnataka to a 29-run victory over Tripura and was scheduled to fly to Gujarat for his side's next Ranji Trophy match against Railways. However, the police said that he will be flown to Bengaluru for further treatment due to the current conditions.
 
 

Providing details about the incident, "Mayank Agarwal (is) an international cricket player. Now, he is stable, and his vitals are normal. But his manager has lodged a specific complaint under NCCPS (New Capital Complex Police Station) to investigate the matter," SP West Tripura Kiran Kumar told the news agency PTI.
 
“His manager said that when he was sitting in the aeroplane, there was a pouch in front of him. He drank a little bit, not much, but suddenly there was irritation in his mouth, and suddenly he couldn't talk also and was brought to ILS hospital. He had swelling and ulcers in the mouth. Otherwise, his vitals are stable.”
 

"He (Agarwal) is not in any kind of danger. He is currently under observation in a hospital at Agartala, and we will fly him back to Bengaluru once we get an update from the doctors, which we are expecting tonight," a Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) official told PTI.
 

Who is Mayank Agarwal?

 
Mayank has appeared in 21 Tests for India but lost his place in the side in 2022 following a series of inconsistent performances. The opener was also part of the Punjab Kings franchise but was released. Sunrisers Hyderabad had roped him in later. He had an indifferent season with the side, scoring 270 runs in ten matches. Now, he is playing in Ranji Trophy for Karnataka.
