The reported Allegations are too severe to listen.

He also disclosed that foreign coaches are unwilling to come to India for the WFI’s behavioral issues.
She also spoke about the treatment she had to deal with after the Tokyo Olympics, stating that the WFI mentally tortured her and pushed her to the point of committing suicide.
