The Malaysian Kabaddi Federation rubbished accusations that the team participating in the\nWorld Cup Kabaddi tournament in Mumbai is made up of "non-kabaddi" players.
The Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) has written a letter to its Pakistani counterpart, asking it not to allow the "unauthorised" Indian team, which is under investigation by the Sports Ministry, to use the national flag during Sunday's final of the circle style World Cup.
A Sports Ministry source said that 'the minister (Kiren Rijiju) is set to start an inquiry.'
The strength of teams has been bolstered from 14 during the inaugural edition last year to 25.
Using a sledgehammer to fix some ills can cut down a game at its peak, warns Shekhar Gupta.
