What Prompted Suspension Of India vs Iran Men's Kabaddi Final In Asian Games?

The India vs Iran men's kabaddi final couldn't reach a timely conclusion after drama over a rule change prompted the authorities to suspend the contest on Saturday. With scores tied 28-28, it was a do-or-die raid for India, and captain Pawan stepped up under pressure. Pawan was dashed out, with the point going to Iran, but the Indian raider said that he went out of the inner lobby without any touch. In such a situation, it's India who would've gotten a few points as Iran's defenders also went out with him. Drama over the matter continued for nearly an hour with the officials failing to come to a conclusion over which team gets the point.
