New Delhi: Sumit Nagal may have defended himself but India's outgoing Davis Cup captain Anand Amritraj yesterday said there were no denying the disciplinary issues concerning the youngster and called on the All India Tennis Association (AITA) to take appropriate action.

It is learnt that Nagal was dropped from the Indian Davis Cup team because of disciplinary issues, which the 19-year-old has refuted. But Amritraj is now challenging Nagal's claims of innocence. "After reading the reports about Sumit Nagal, here is what happened in Delhi during the Spain tie. On the Monday before the tie, Sumit showed up at the Hyatt in Delhi with a girl. Zeeshan and I saw this," Amritraj said.

"That afternoon we had a chat with Hironmoy Chatterjee, and after, both Zeeshan and I sat down with Sumit and I told him it was not acceptable to have the girl and that she should be sent home. He did this right away," he added.

"On the issue of the cleaning out of the mini bar in Chandigarh, I had no idea that time. If I had known this when I spoke to Sumit about the girl in Delhi, I would certainly have told him this was not acceptable behaviour." Amritraj said.
