Teammates claim Hockey captain Sardar had beaten up woman

Chandigarh: Indian hockey captain Sardar Singh on Thursday threatened to take legal action against the woman, who has accused him of sexual harassment, claiming that she misused his social media accounts to send out information he never approved of.

Meanwhile, reports quoting his teammates claimed that the fight between Sardar Singh and the woman resulted in police intervention during a tournament in Belgium last year

Sardar said he will give appropriate answer to the allegations as and when he receives documents pertaining to her complaint.

Sardar, who is a DSP in Haryana Police, also reiterated that he and the complainant were just “good friends”.

“My entire focus is on hockey. The allegations levelled are false. When report comes (what the police has to say), I will see what legal action is to be taken,” Sardar said addressing a press meet at the Sector 42 stadium here.

Sardar, who was accompanied by his lawyers, faced a volley of questions over the nature of his relationship with the woman and the allegations levelled by her against him.

The midfielder rejected the charge that he had forced the complainant to undergo abortion last year.

“No such thing happened. Asked if he had been engaged to the woman in question, Sardar said, “She procured passwords from them. Some tweets were also misused which were attributed to me. She had announced through twitter that we will get married soon, at that time we were playing in Spain.
