An Indian hockey umpire and technical official, Gurinder Singh Sangha, leaves Japan and is sent back from the Asian Games after sexual misconduct allegations, according to reports from multiple outlets.
NDTV says he is sent back from the Games in Japan due to multiple complaints of alleged sexual harassment made during the event. Times of India similarly reports that Sangha departs from Japan amid allegations of sexual misconduct during the hockey tournament, citing more than one complaint.
Times of India also adds context, saying some complaints include allegations of inappropriate behavior toward a Malaysian hockey official. It further reports that Sangha previously faced similar allegations during the Hockey India League in January 2025, when umpire Yogita Pasi lodged a formal complaint. Across the outlets, the central points are that the allegations are linked to the Asian Games period and involve multiple complaints; details of the specific proceedings and responses are not consistently described in the available reports.
