The Indian boxing contingent was in the limelight for unwanted reasons after two support staff – women’s head coach Bhaskar Bhatt and team doctor Dr. Karanjeet Singh – were replaced with Lovlina Borgohain’s coach Sandhya Gurung and another physio owing to stipulated number of accreditation to the Games Village.
The boxing contingent, comprising 12 boxers, was initially allocated four officials as per the prescribed 33 percent support staff. Later, the number was increased to eight.
