The first case of dengue fever in the athletes' village has added to the woes of Delhi officials already facing criticism for shoddy preparations ahead of the biggest-ever Commonwealth Games.
Ruptu Gogoi, a member of the Indian lawn bowling team, contracted the mosquito-borne viral disease and has been admitted to hospital.
More than a thousand cases, including three deaths, have been reported in the city since June and organisers have tried a number of methods, including 'mosquito fish', to stop the spread of the disease.
