Junior weightlifters allege harassment

NEW DELHI, Mar 22:
A 19-year-old weightlifter has been suspended by the Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) for allegedly harassing three junior women weightlifters at the NIS, Patiala.
The three lifters have alleged harassment by Shubham Verma, a silver medallist at the Youth Nationals last November. He has been accused of making repeated phone calls, sending messages, staring at the girls with an intention of making sexual advances towards them.
“Shubham Verma has been suspended by the IWF and subsequently removed from the Patiala camp,” IWF president and Member of Parliament, Birendra Prasad Baishya told here. (PTI)
