Kushal Das molestation charges: Ranjit Bajaj lodges complaints with NCW, writes to FIFA, AFC

Ranjit Bajaj has lodged a complaint with the National Commission of Women against All India Football Federation general secretary Kushal Das besides writing to FIFA and AFC's ethics committees, days after alleging that the top official had sexually harassed employees at workplace. Requesting an independent review committee of world football governing body FIFA and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to investigate the grave charges, Bajaj, on Thursday questioned why the AIFF has not yet contacted him and asked for evidence despite the grave charges against Das, whereas he "has already written" to the AIFF.

"The complaint has been registered by NCW and a case officer has also been applied to me who I have to contact after its preliminary inquiry is completed. The case officer is always for assistance at any time," Bajaj, who previously owned I-League club Minerva Punjab FC, told PTI.

Soon after Bajaj went public with his allegations last month, the AIFF and its internal complaints committee head Jyotsna Gupta had outrightly rejected them. Das was then cleared of the charges by the sports body's integrity officer Javed Siraj, who termed the allegations "frivolous and devoid of truth" in his report.

Alleging that Gupta is also Das' private secretary, Bajaj asked how could she "investigate and also clear her boss within half an hour of my tweets". Bajaj was aghast in the "manner in which the investigations were carried out".
