Tripura athletes file complaint against ‘corrupt’ Olympic official

Agartala: Athletes from different disciplines in the state on Sunday lodged a formal complaint with the East Agartala Police station against Tripura State Olympic Association Secretary Rupak Debroy.

Players and mentors gathered in front of the residence of Rupak Debroy and demanded his resignation from all sporting bodies in the state.

Speaking to media persons, an ex-Kabaddi player said, “This man (Rupak Deb Roy) has crossed all limits of corruption in the sports body. The funds allocated from the Olympic Association remain under his control. Never ever we saw a single penny being spent from those funds for the welfare of the players. On several occasions, we have taken tough stands against him and complained with the authorities but no action was taken from the end of the state government”.
