The national Kabaddi Federation on September 21 washed its hands of the incident where the players at a State-level tournament were served food from a toilet, saying it was not, in any way, involved in the staging of the girls' event in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur.
The kabaddi players competing at the U-16 event were served food that was kept in a toilet, prompting the authorities to suspend the district sports officer for laxity and blacklisting the caterer.
The incident created a furore as politicians condemned the shabby treatment meted out to the players.
