All India Football Federation suspends member for alleged physical assault of two women players

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on April 2 suspended its executive committee member Deepak Sharma until further notice for his alleged physical assault of two women players in Goa, two days after it stopped short of doing the same.

Two footballers of Himachal Pradesh-based Khad FC, taking part in the Indian Women's Football (IWL) League second division, had alleged that Mr. Sharma, the owner of the club, had barged into their room and physically assaulted them on the night of March 28.

On Saturday, the AIFF asked Mr. Sharma to refrain from football-related activities till the conclusion of a probe by a panel into his alleged incident. Mr. Sharma was arrested by Goa police after the host State association lodged a complaint and later released on bail.
