MOHALI: In a span of two weeks, two national ranking badminton tournaments have been hit by the menace of age fraud. As the Badminton Association of India (BAI) began its probe into allegations of more than 60 per cent of participants at the All-India Sub-junior U-13 ranking badminton tournament in Hyderabad being overage, the ongoing Under-13 ranking meet in Mohali is also facing the heat.
While the embers of the Hyderabad event hasn’t exactly died down, more than 60 aggrieved parents of the participants in Mohali shot a letter to the organizing secretary Tejinder Bedi, protesting the participation of overage players in the week-long tournament.
