AKFI first-round election results declared

Yesterday (15th February) the first round of election of the office bearers of Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) held at Hotel Eros, Nehru Place, Delhi. The election held under the supervision of Returning Officer Mr. Neeraj Kumar Gupta.

Mr. Kasani Gnaneshwar Mudiraj, who is the member of Telangana Kabaddi Association, has been elected as the President of AKFI. Tejasvi Singh Gehlot who is the son of former president Janardan Singh Gehlot is elected as the General Secretary of AKFI.

Last year in the month of August Janardan Singh Gehlot who was declared as ‘life president’ and Mridula Bhadauria who was AKFI president both were removed by the Delhi High Court after the petition was filed by former Kabaddi player.

The petition had accused both of them of issuing fake certificates of participation, charging money for a selection of players, sexual harassment and running parallel organizations like the Asian Kabaddi Federation and International Kabaddi Federation.

After the removal of both of them, the Delhi high court appointed Justice SP Garg as an administrator of AKFI to administer the federation and conducting the elections.
