Sania Nehwal claimed that her father Harvir’s name was removed from the Indian team’s officials list for the 2018 Commonwealth Games (CWG) and vented her anger in a series of tweets.

Removal of the name meant that he would not be allowed entry to the Games village or see any of her matches.

The Sports Ministry had earlier cleared the names of Saina’s father and P.V. Sindhu’s mother to travel with the Indian contingent at no cost to the government. However, the Indian badminton star tweeted that after the reaching the Games village, she found out that her father’s name was cut off from the list.

Sindhu’s mother Vijaya Pusarla and Saina’s father Harvir Singh were among the 15 officials/non-athletes who were cleared at no cost to the government.

According to the revised list provided by Indian Olympic Association website, India have sent a 326-member contingent, including 218 (including 8 para-athletes) athletes, for 2018 Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast, Australia starting on April 4.
