The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on November 8 announced that it has sacked its secretary general Shaji Prabhakaran due to "breach of trust".
Shaji Prabhakaran's sacking comes 14 months after his appointment to the high-profile job even as the national federation did not mention what the breach of trust was that prompted the action.
"The All India Football Federation hereby announces that the services of Dr. Shaji Prabhakaran have been terminated due to breach of trust with immediate effect as of November 7, 2023," the AIFF statement read.
