At the same time, this case was exposed just before the start of the Games, due to which Praveen Kumar has been removed from his post and Dinesh Kumar has been appointed as the new Director of Competition. The Indian Olympic Association has strongly condemned Praveen Kumar about this. Following this revelation, the Indian Olympic Association took strict action and accepted the recommendations of GTCC and removed Taekwondo Director of Competition Praveen Kumra.
The Taekwondo competition at the 38th National Games is being held in Haldwani. But even before it started, allegations of match fixing and purchase of medal were reported. The GTCC committee of the Indian Olympic Association investigated the matter and found that some officials were already involved in deciding the results of the medal. There was a demand of Rs 3 lakh for gold, Rs 2 lakh for silver medal and Rs 1 lakh for bronze medal.
