Bhopal, July 21 -- Hockey India has set up a four-member committee to probe an alleged sex scandal involving members of the support staff of the Indian women's hockey team during the recent exposure tours of China and Canada. The committee, comprising Rajeev Mehta, member of HI executive board, former captains and government observers Ajit Pal Singh and Zafar Iqbal and Sudarshan Pathak, member of Delhi Hockey, has been asked to probe allegations of sexual misconduct included in an anonymous email sent to HI three days ago, exposing the scandal and seeking action against the chief coach and the support staff. A copy of the said mail is with HT. The mail alleges a videographer with the team on the China and Canada tour of bringing girls to his hotel room and also includes some photographs of a person, alleged to be the said videographer, in a compromising position. The mail also accuses another member of the support staff of seeking favours from the players. A meeting of the committee was held on Monday while another is scheduled on Wednesday. Zafar Iqbal has been made convener of the inquiry committee, HI secretary-general Narinder Batra told HT over phone from Delhi.
Meanwhile, RK Naidu, in-charge director of SAI Centre, Bhopal, said the team had left for Delhi on Tuesday morning to take part in the Women's Asian Champions Trophy scheduled in Busan, from July 27 to 31.
