FIR lodged against badminton star Lakshya Sen
Big news is coming out related to Almora’s young badminton star and Arjuna awardee Lakshya Sen. According to information, following a complaint by Nagaraja MG, who runs a badminton academy in Bengaluru, the Bengaluru Police has registered an FIR against Lakshya and a coach of his badminton academy. Those named in the FIR include Lakshya, his coach Vimal Kumar, his father Dhirendra Sen, his brother Chirag and mother Nirmala Sen. Lakshya Sen has been accused of giving false details of age.
Nagaraja alleges that Vimal, Lakshya’s coach, made a birth certificate in 2010 in collaboration with Lakshya’s parents, in which the ages of Chirag and Lakshya have been fudged. This enabled him to participate in age-group tournaments. Otherwise he would have been ineligible to compete.
The complainant states that with the support of the Karnataka Badminton Association and coach Vimal Kumar, Lakshya started playing against competitors below his age group. Also using age as an advantage, Lakshya won many tournaments and received many benefits from the government. This resulted in the loss of other talented children.
The complainant also states that Lakshya was born in 1998, whereas the records show that Lakshya was born in 2001. While Lakshya’s coach Vimal Kumar has denied the allegations. Said that I am not even aware of the allegations leveled by the complainant. I have no role in this. Lakshya came to our academy and I trained him like any other kid since 2010.
