The Age Fraud Affair against Badminton Star Lakshya Sen – Firstpost

The High Court of Karnataka granted an investigation into the allegations on Monday that the birth certificates of the Badminton Star Lakshya Sen Badminton player were manufactured.

The case comes from a private complaint filed by MG Nagaraj, who allegedly alleged that the parents of Lakshya Sen Dhirendra and Nirmala Sen, as well as his brother Chirag Sen, coach U Vimar Kumar, and an employee of the Olympia of Karnataka, were involved in 23 -year -old birth records.

Lakshya Sen, family members, and his coach U Vimar Kumar had filed a request before the High Court of Karnataka to stall the investigation.

Nagaraj had previously supported his complaints with documents obtained under the law on the right to information (RTI) and asked a metropolitan court to convene original files of sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs in New Delhi. Based on these elements of evidence, a metropolitan magistrate in 2022 ordered the Police Police High motives to conduct an investigation and rejected the Petition of Sen.

What are the accusations against Sen, his family and his coach?

According to the complaint, the accused has manipulated the birth certificates of Lakshya and Chirag Sen, reducing their age of about two and a half years. The alleged counterfeiting aimed to allow them to participate in limited badminton tournaments and to benefit from the benefits of the government.

According to the directive of the metropolitan court, the police recorded a first information report (FIR) under articles 420 of the IPC (cheating), 468 (counterfeiting) and 471 (using forged as authentic). However, the petitioners moved the High Court of Karnataka in 2022, guaranteeing a provisional prescription that blocked the investigation.

The petitioners argued that the following complaint and FIR were baseless, motivated and intended to harass them. They allegedly alleged that Nagaraj acted outside the personal vendetta, saying that her daughter had applied to join the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy in 2020 but was not selected after the evaluation process. Vimal Kumar, academy’s coach, was appointed in the complaint.

J. MG UMA, while rejecting petitions, observed on Monday that the petitioner lawyer had not presented arguments despite the sufficient opportunities. The judge also refused a request for more time.

“When Prima Facie materials are placed in the file which constitute the offenses, I find no reason to stall the investigation or to cancel the criminal procedure,” said judge UMA.

The court noted that the complainant had provided sufficient documentary evidence obtained via RTI, strengthening the need for an investigation.
