In a shocking development at the Sports Authority of India's National Boxing Academy, a minor boxer has accused her coach of sexual harassment and abuse, according to an FIR filed by her parents. The young athlete claims she faced continuous mental and physical torment, leading her into depression.
The Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) have both acknowledged receiving a complaint about intimidation and incidents of slapping, but they deny any mention of sexual harassment in the complaint. Their internal investigations reportedly found no evidence against the accused coach.
Despite these denials, the victim's parents remain unsatisfied with the inquiry process. They allege that their daughter was also molested during a tour in Ireland and isolated from her peers. The police investigation continues, with SAI expressing readiness to cooperate as required.
