    SAI Deputy Director Arunlal: Olympic medallist wrestler Bajrang Punia has called for a "swift and fair" investigation into allegations of mental harassment and abusive language levelled against Dronacharya Award-winning javelin coach Naval Singh by para-athletes. He stated, "Champions should be sweating it out on the field, not grappling with abuse."

    Two-time Paralympic Games medallist Sumit Antil is among the country's top javelin throwers who allege harassment and use of abusive language by coach Naval Singh and have complained to the Sports Authority of India (SAI).

    "The allegations of mental harassment made by para-athlete @sumit_javelin are extremely serious. Our champions should be sweating it out on the field, not grappling with systemic abuse. I appeal to the officials for a swift and fair investigation into this matter so that the truth comes to light,' Punia shared on X.
