IOA Inquiry into Women’s Hockey Harassment Allegations Delayed over Funding
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) formed a four-member independent inquiry committee on September 10 to investigate harassment allegations by former women’s hockey captain Asuntha Lakra against Hockey India secretary Bholanath Singh. However, the committee has not met since its formation due to Hockey India’s alleged failure to release necessary funds for the inquiry. Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey has reportedly urged the release of funds, but the panel awaits payment to begin proceedings.
