Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has warned the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) of suspension/withdrawal of its membership after it was apprised of the incident involving Indian horsemen impersonating as Nepalese riders during the Tent Pegging World Cup Qualifiers in Greater Noida in March last year. IOA president Narinder Dhruv Batra has directed the EFI to apprise him of the factual status at the earliest, as such violations by the federation can't be ignored. In its letter dated February 7, 2022, Batra referred to the legal case filed in the Delhi High Court by the president of the Rajasthan Equestrian Association (REA), Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod, in the controversy involving the participation of Indian riders impersonating as Nepalese citizens at the Tent Pegging WC qualifier.
