Emergency committee

AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey: The Executive Committee of the All-India Football Federation (AIFF) has suspended Deepak Sharma, the administrator who allegedly physically assaulted two female footballers during the Indian Women's League 2 in Goa, from participating in any football-related activities until further notice.

The AIFF also decided to dissolve the ad-hoc committee set up to probe this matter and send it to its disciplinary committee. The ad-hoc panel was set up after the Sports Ministry had taken cognizance of this matter and asked it to take steps to ensure the safety and security of female players.

In this regard, the Emergency Committee of the AIFF, comprising the President, Vice President, and Treasurer, met on Monday to discuss the IWL 2 incident in Goa and complaints received from certain players against. Deepak Sharma.
