Wrestler Antim Panghal and her entourage will be deported from Paris after her sister Nisha used the Indian wrestler’s accreditation to enter the Olympic Games Village during the Paris Olympics 2024 but was detained by the police. “If that was not enough, Antim’s personal support staff — Vikas and Bhagat — have allegedly travelled in an inebriated state in a cab and refused to pay the fare after which the driver called the cops,” reported NDTV Sports.

Antim had earlier slumped to a humiliating 0-10 defeat to Turkey’s Yetgil Zeynep in the women’s 53 kg category.” The Indian Olympic Association has decided to fly wrestler Antim and her support staff back after a disciplinary breach was brought to IOA’s notice by the French authorities,” said IOA in a statement.
