"The complainant seeks immediate registration of an FIR under relevant provisions for criminal breach of trust, theft, criminal conspiracy, endangerment of life, and wrongful abandonment, and request for immediate recovery of stolen assets and documents," the subject of the complaint reads.
The complaint has been submitted to the DCP, South Delhi. As per the details available, the complaint has been received by the Delhi Police, while there has been no confirmation of registration of an FIR at this stage.
Tirkey's complaint comes amid an ongoing internal dispute within Hockey India involving senior office-bearers. However, the police complaint primarily concerns the alleged incident involving the official vehicle and the recovery of Tirkey's belongings and documents.
The former India captain had earlier taken action against Srivastava in his capacity as Hockey India president, including stripping him of his powers as Director General and issuing him a show-cause notice. The developments had followed differences within the federation over administrative matters.
The latest complaint names Srivastava along with Kumar, Bhushan and Harminder in connection with the allegations made by Tirkey.
The allegations contained in the complaint are yet to be established, and any further action will depend on the response of the Delhi Police and the subsequent proceedings, if any.
Hockey India is currently preparing for a busy international calendar, with the federation's administration also facing internal differences involving its senior office-bearers. (ANI)
