Wrestler Satender Malik Gets Life Ban After Assaulting Referee Jagbir Singh During CWG Trials
In an unprecedented incident, Services' wrestler Satender Malik launched a physical assault on referee Jagbir Singh after losing the 125kg final during the Commonwealth Games trials in New Delhi on Tuesday, prompting the national federation to impose a life ban on him. The Air Force wrestler was leading 3-0 with just a 18 seconds left in the deciding bout when Mohit effected a 'take-down' move and also pushed Satender out of the mat for another point. However, referee Virender Malik did not award two points to Mohit for the 'takedown' move and gave only one point for the pushout.
