“It has been brought to my notice the instance of an AIFF women employee being sexually molested by an employee from the administration department of AIFF. In this manner, it has to be further observed that such an instance had apparently occurred in the month of February and such was informed to both president Kalyan Choubey and deputy secretary general Satyanarayan. However, efforts were allegedly undertaken by both to hush up the affair, not provide requisite support and assistance to the said victim,” Bhattacharjee alleged.
