Table tennis coach of Chhattisgarh junior team suspended

January 15, 2015 02:34 am | Updated 02:34 am IST - New Delhi:

A CCTV footage on Tuesday created a controversy as it showed a table tennis coach and a girl player involved in a physical confrontation outside a hotel room in Andhra Pradesh, following which the player-cum-coach was suspended.

The Secretary of the Chhattisgarh Association has also resigned from his post, taking moral responsibility since he had sent the coach there for the 76th National cadet and sub-junior championship in Rajahmundry.

“The matter reached us and a three-member committee has been constituted by the Chhattisgarh Association to find out the truth. It will file a report in three days,” TTFI Secretary Dhanraj Choudhary said.

“I have seen the video and there is nothing indecent in it. Since this matter reached the local association through the media, they have decided to pursue the matter,” Choudhary added.
