Narsingh Yadav
Annoyed over selective leaks of the CBI status report to the media, the Delhi High Court yesterday slammed the probe agency for maligning the reputation of wrestler Narsingh Yadav who was banned for four years on doping charge, and asked the CBI Joint Director to look into the matter.
The court observed that due to the leaking of contents of the status report on the probe into Yadav's complaint, which alleged that his food was spiked leading to the ban, he has been maligned in a manner which is irreparable.
