Power Struggle and Accusations Rock Boxing Federation of India

The Boxing Federation of India faces turmoil as the Indian Olympic Association strips its administrative powers due to election delays. Allegations of financial misconduct and power abuse surface, leading to the appointment of a five-member ad-hoc committee, while internal conflicts within the federation escalate.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) recently removed the administrative powers from the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) for failing to conduct timely elections. This has led to a slew of accusations, revealing internal conflicts that have been simmering for months.

Officials are accused of financial misconduct, misuse of power, and non-adherence to procedure. The IOA has established a five-member ad-hoc committee spearheaded by former Athletics Federation of India treasurer Madhukant Pathak to manage BFI affairs temporarily.

Internal disputes regarding election delays further complicate matters. Key figures are contested about unilateral decisions within the federation. Meanwhile, IOA's intervention through an ad-hoc committee is met with resistance from certain members, escalating the tension.
