Rajeev mehta who is alleged for drunken driving.


Glasgow : India stood tall and finished with bagging 15 Gold, 30 silver and 19 Bronze medals and stood at 5th positions at end of CommonWealth games. As we were busy enjoying our celebrations,  A shock news made us tremble in shame. India was left red-faced after Indian Olympic Association (IOA) secretary general Rajeev Mehta and Senior international wrestling refree Virender Malik were arrested in Glasgow on separate charges late on saturday night.


Mehta was arrested on charges of alleged drunken driving and Malik for sexual assault. Sports Minister Sonowal assures stern actions will be taken if officials found guilty.

Sources here told that both Mehta and Malik were not part of the Indian contingent but went to Glasgow in their respective official capacities.Mehta was allegedly driving without the License while returning from the party which was thrown by Gymnastics Federations of India to celebrate the Bronze medal won by Dipa Karmakar.Reports confirm that he was above the legal alcohol limit.Malik was allegedly involved in sexula assault in hotel in the west of Glasgow.



Indian Olympic Association president N Ramachandran said ,"At very outset let me clarify that Virender Malik(wrestling refree) was not travelling as a part of the IOA contingent, so it would not be appropriate for me to comment on him.As far as the secretary General is concerned, he is yet to be produced in court.so we will wait for the day.For the record, both were not staying in Games village. "



Indian high commision in London stated that they are closely monitoring the case.India's chef-de-mission Raj Singh termed the incident "shameful".

They were presented on court yesterday and were relieved of charges due to lack of evidences.Mehta reported for a private news channel that,"The facts have been misrepresented and I have been projected in false manner. I was not drunk and my test reports have all came negative. There is nothing in report to show that i was in drunken state. Iam thankful to court that they didn't accept the evidences that were put forward"

When asked about the incident,"I had came out from the party and was on my way to my hotel. Then the accident happened but it was not my fault.The girls who were inisde other car were driving on the wrong side of the road.There was nothing found on my reports and hence i was relieved of all charges framed against me"Mehta concluded.

But the question is why was he arrested for Drunken driving,if it was not his mistake. We all are well aware of our politicians and their way of dealing things .
