Wrestling Federation of India evicts Virender Malik

Wrestling Federation of India has taken stern action against Virender Malik

The Wrestling federation of India debarred arrested referee Virender Malik. Two Indians were arrested by Scotland police during the Commonwealth Games.

Mehta was arrested on charges of alleged drunken driving and Malik for alleged sexual assault. Both of them went to Glasgow in their official capacities and not as part of the Indian contingent.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman confirmed the arrests of the two Indian officials but refused to divulge any details.

"On August 2, a 49-year-old man was arrested following reports of alleged drunken driving in City Centre of Glasgow. On August 2, a 45-year-old man was arrested following reports of an alleged assault in the west of Glasgow," said the spokeswoman.

Asian Lite, a London newspaper, reported that Mehta was allegedly driving without a licence at Glasgow city centre and was above the legal alcohol limit and Malik was allegedly involved in sexual assault in a hotel in the west of Glasgow.

Mehta was an invitee of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) and presented medals to winners. Malik had officiated in the wrestling competitions in the Commonwealth Games.

This definitely comes as a shock for India after the nation's athletes had worked hard to win a lot of medals.
