Hemanta Kumar Kalita, the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) secretary general, and Digvijay Singh, treasurer of the sporting body, were on Tuesday suspended with immediate effect after the Sports Authority of India (SAI) filed a complaint against the duo with BFI president Ajay Singh for alleged financial irregularities and mismanagement of funds.
Kalita’s nomination for the presidential post in the upcoming election was also rejected.
In a letter addressed to the duo, Ajay said he had appointed Hon’ble Justice (Retd.) Sudhir Kumar Jain, former judge of the Delhi High Court, to conduct an independent investigation into the matter.
”Justice Jain has concluded his investigation and submitted his report, which has found both of you guilty of serious charges of financial irregularities and mismanagement of funds. The findings of the report establish a clear breach of fiduciary duties and responsibilities expected from individuals holding key positions within the Federation,” the letter read.
