A Hockey India official said the organization would consider further action after receiving a report from the Asian Hockey Federation. The allegations have not been publicly detailed in formal findings, and no response from Sangha or the federation was reported. The Hockey India official said a Malaysian female official had filed a sexual-harassment complaint against Sangha. An unnamed senior official separately said complaints had been made by foreign officials and hotel staff. The accounts describe allegations, not established findings, and the available reports do not include the underlying complaints or direct accounts from the complainants.
