More drama has emerged from the Indian wrestling community in Paris after the sister of one of their competitors was detained by police for attempting to enter the athletes’ village with her sibling’s accreditation. The same wrestler had to deny speculation her coaches got into a serious dispute with a Parisian taxi driver.
Only the interventions of India’s chef de mission enabled Nisha Panghal to be released from a police station in Saint-Denis at 11.30pm on Wednesday night. Reports in India say the wrestler Antim Panghal has had her accreditation cancelled by a furious Indian Olympic Association and is staying in a Paris hotel before her flight home.
