The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has initiated legal proceedings against T V Pauly and Hiral Seth, former office-bearers of the Indian Body Builders Federation (IBBF), accusing them of deceitfully presenting the IBBF as a national sports governing body.
According to officials, Pauly, the erstwhile interim vice president, and Seth, the former general secretary, allegedly organized unauthorized national bodybuilding championships in the 2022-23 season.
The CBI's FIR alleges that fake certificates issued by the duo were used to gain employment, misleading athletes, sponsors, and the general public by falsely representing the IBBF's national status.
