Indian para-swimmer Mohammad Shams Aalam Shaikh is deported from Japan after allegations of sexual misconduct during the Asian Para Games 2026 in Nagoya. Reports say Japanese police detained him following a complaint, and he is sent back to India without competing in scheduled events.
The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) is considering disciplinary action, with some outlets reporting that a lifetime ban is being discussed. A senior PCI-linked official is also quoted as describing the alleged conduct as unacceptable. Outlets differ slightly in wording (sexual misconduct versus sexual harassment/molestation) and in the level of detail provided about the alleged hotel incident and the status of any final decision.
Across coverage, the core points remain consistent: an allegation is made, authorities respond, Shaikh is deported, and the PCI reviews the matter after the Games while outcomes are not reported as final.
