A national level shooter has accused her coach, also a former shooter and Olympian, of spiking her drink at a party and raping her.
The woman shooter claimed her coach, with whom she was in a relationship with for the last two years, had promised to marry her. A complaint has been filed in the case, MK Meena, Special Commissioner of Police said.
The accused, who is also an Arjuna awardee, was a Sports Authority of India (SAI) coach.
The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) said this is why it cannot take a call on the accused's future.
"This is a private case between two individuals, which is being investigated by the police. We shall co-operate with the cops if we are asked to," an NRAI official told NDTV.
The SAI can suspend the accused till the charges against him are proved. But since the man has only been asked to be a part of the investigations as of now, and has not been arrested, no action has been taken as yet.
