Hockey India slaps show cause notice on Asunta; latter calls it ‘retaliation’

JFC's ISL exit is a long-planned strategic move: Governance and business analysis

The mess within Hockey India (HI) keeps getting worse.

Political Context

This comes a day after the Sports Ministry, supported by HI president Dilip Tirkey, had asked the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to conduct an independent enquiry into Asunta’s allegations of sexual harassment of girls in Jharkhand hockey and institutional intimidation by HI secretary general Bholanath Singh.

In response to the notice, Asunta has written to the ministry against what she calls “continued intimidation and retaliation” by HI.
