Continuing his campaign against Narinder Batra, Indian Olympic Association vice-president Sudhanshu Mittal has written to International Olympic Committee's Ethics Commission chairman Ban Ki-moon, accusing the IOA president of "illegally" reinstating the "tainted" Lalit Bhanot into the national body. Mittal alleged that immediately after being elected as IOA president, Batra reinstated Bhanot in various capacities despite several cases of corruption related to the 2010 Commonwealth Games, pending against him in court.
