Yours faithfully (SPS Tomar) Deputy Secretary to the Government of India," the letter added.Last year in December, two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar said that an FIR was filed against the secretary of the SGFI for allegedly forging his signature and performing irregularities in the body."I received a letter from the Government of India (GOI) regarding irregularities in SGFI on November 12. I wrote to SGFI, secretary asking him why he did not reply to the GOI letter but he did not answer me," Sushil had told ."I noticed that my signature was forged to change the by-laws. Then I wrote to GOI and SGFI secretary telling them the same. Again, I did not receive any reply from the secretary," he added.The wrestler had then written to the SGFI treasurer as his signature was also mentioned on the by-laws but the latter had denied his role in changing the by-laws."After noticing fraud in the orgsation, I met the sports minister and informed him all clearly. He told me to conduct elections by December after clearing all the irregularities and amending by-laws," the wrestler had said."Now I've now filed an FIR against the SGFI secretary under IPC sections 420, 468, 471 and 120 B," he had added.Sushil then deferred the SGFI elections under the powers given in Sports Code.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
