Asunta Lakra Denies Allegations and Questions Hockey India Ethics Committee Jurisdiction
Former Indian women's hockey captain Asunta Lakra has denied all allegations made against her by Albela Rani Toppo and challenged the jurisdiction of Hockey India's Ethics Committee. She argued that the committee lacks authority to initiate proceedings without a written referral from the Hockey India president. Lakra described the complaints as false and malicious, questioned procedural irregularities, and sought relevant documents before submitting a detailed response. This follows her own allegations of misconduct against Hockey India officials and a related independent inquiry ordered by the Sports Ministry.
