Case disposed

Hangzhou Asian Para Games: In a social media post, international para-badminton player Vaishnavi Puneyani has claimed that she has been served justice as her legal battle with authorities ended in her favour.

In a post titled "Case Disposed, Justice has finally prevailed" on X, formerly Twitter, Vaishnavi claimed that she was subjected to a witch hunt as she refused to intentionally lose matches under pressure from a coach.

"I was groomed to succeed by the coach—until the coach’s favourite changed to the lower category by faking the disability & by portraying Cancer/Tumour. I was told to lose intentionally, but I refused. That’s when the witch hunt began. I became the only player whose own coach and system were hell-bent on disqualifying me, and they did," said Vaishnavi in her post.
