Batra, who was left out of the Indian contingent for the Asian Table Tennis Championships, 2021, has alleged that the national coach Soumyadeep Roy “pressurized” her to “throw away” an Olympic qualifier match in favour of one of his trainees.
The Delhi High Court Friday expressed strong displeasure that star table tennis player Manika Batra was being allegedly targeted by the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) for dragging the sports body to the court by raising her grievances.
Justice Rekha Palli said the player cannot be targeted and if she was being targeted, then it was a "serious problem".
The high court was hearing a petition by Batra seeking quashing of rules mandating compulsory attendance at the National Coaching Camp for selection in international events.
