DCW, Hockey India spar on Sardar case

Taking strong exception to Hockey India’s (HI) response in an alleged sexual assault case against Indian captain Sardar Singh, the Delhi Commission for Women has accused the federation of making “defamatory allegations and remarks” against the statutory body.

 The Commission, which termed as “false and malicious” the purported remarks of HI linking the DCW members with AAP, also refused federation’s request for 10 weeks’ time to submit the details sought by DCW, and asked it to send its response within a week or face action.

 “The DCW takes strong exception to your response wherein defamatory allegations and remarks have been made against a Statutory body invested with the powers of a Civil Court,” the notice said.
