The National Sports Club of India (NSCI) has gagged its members from defaming the club. In an email sent from the club's official account, and a notice that has been put up in the club premises, members have been warned not to defame the club or its management in the media or through frivolous lawsuits. Instead, the club recommends that issues be resolved internally, like "any home or family".
