HI launches ethics inquiry against Asunta Lakra; ex-India captain calls notice 'intimidation'

Hockey India's Ethics Committee has started an inquiry into complaints against Asunta Lakra. This follows a Ministry directive for a neutral probe into her allegations. Lakra has been asked to submit her defense by July 30, 2026. She claims the notice is an attempt to intimidate her during the process. Hockey India's vice-president supports Lakra and will monitor the federation's actions.
