Asunta Lakra Denies Allegations, Questions Hockey India Ethics Committee Jurisdiction
Former Indian women's hockey captain Asunta Lakra has denied allegations against her, calling them false and malicious, while questioning the jurisdiction of Hockey India's Ethics Committee. She argued that the committee lacks original jurisdiction and that complaints must be referred by the Hockey India president before inquiry. Lakra also challenged the involvement of Secretary-General Bholanath Singh, who is a person of interest in related sexual harassment and intimidation allegations. The Sports Ministry has directed the Indian Olympic Association to conduct an independent inquiry into these claims.
