Overview
- Suspended BFI secretary general Pramod Kumar said on Saturday he has invited World Boxing, the Indian Olympic Association and the Sports Ministry to observe the Special General Meeting on October 28.
- Kumar has filed a no-confidence motion against president Ajay Singh and says he already holds the two-thirds majority required to remove him.
- Singh suspended Kumar earlier this month pending an inquiry into alleged financial irregularities, and Kumar then suspended Singh with both men accusing the other of breaching the federation’s constitution.
- World Boxing acknowledged Kumar’s message and told him it is monitoring the situation but cannot deploy an observer to the meeting because of time constraints.
- An ad-hoc committee has been set up in Jharkhand to verify district associations and hold state elections within six months, a move critics say could be timed to influence federation votes and that may affect grassroots competitions and athlete pathways.
