New Delhi: All India Football Federation (AIFF) rubbished the charges of sexual assault brought forward against Secretary Kushal Das in an official statement issued by the organization. The charges were brought forward by former Minerva Punjab owner Ranjit Bajaj.
“All statements and allegations made in this regard are false and fabricated, and made without an iota of evidence in support of the same. Further, no such complaints and/or concerns were received by the Internal Complaints Committee constituted by the AIFF as per the PoSH Act, 2013.” the statement read.
Bajaj, earlier this day took to his social media in bringing out the sexual harrasment accusations against Secretary Kushal Das.

“The AIFF follows a strong ethical code of conduct within the organisation, ensuring the protection and wellbeing of all its staff members. The allegations made by Bajaj are defamatory in nature, causing harm not only to Das but also to the entire footballing fraternity in India. In consideration of the same, the AIFF has considered it prudent to take appropriate legal action against the concerned individual.
“The AIFF will also refer the matter to the Executive Committee, and also to the AGM for appropriate action,” AIFF said.
