Min Wants Early BFI Polls, IOA Forms Panel

In a new twist to Indian boxing saga, the Indian Olympic Association formed a three-member committee to examine the delay in the election of the Boxing Federation of India.

- Indraneel Das @Chennai

According to a letter signed by IOA president PT Usha, the committee was formed after the sports ministry sent a letter asking them to find ways to resolve the impasse after the tenure of the BFI elected body got over on February 2.

The three-member committee will be headed by IOA's treasurer Sahdev Yadav, with executive committee member Bhupinder Singh Bajwa and lawyer Payal Kakra as the other two. What seems interesting is that Yadav and Bajwa had earlier objected to IOA president Usha forming an ad hoc committee when the BFI tenure was over in February.
