Ankush Bharadwaj, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, has been suspended as a national shooting coach after a 17-year-old shooter accused him of sexually assaulting her in a hotel room. Bharadwaj, who also runs a shooting academy, faces serious charges, including under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The teenager has shared chilling details about the events inside the hotel room in her complaint to the police. She has alleged that Bharadwaj called her to a five-star hotel in Faridabad on the pretext of analysis and then sexually assaulted her. When the teenager resisted, the coach allegedly threatened to destroy her career if she spoke out.
