Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel has constituted a two-member committee to inquire into the allegations leveled by marathoner O P Jaisha.
The committee has been asked to submit a report in seven days.
Jaisha had alleged that Indian officials did not arrange for water and energy drinks during her race in the Rio Olympics run under scorching heat despite designated stations being given for the country.
However, Athletics Federation of India denied her claims.
Her co-runner Kavita Raut also said that the AFI had provided her with an option of having energy drinks during the race and, therefore, she has no complaints against the apex body.
