💨 Abstract

A national-level shooting coach, Ankush Bhardwaj, has been suspended and booked under the POCSO Act for allegedly sexually assaulting a 17-year-old shooter at a Faridabad hotel. The incident occurred on December 16 after a competition, where Bhardwaj called the minor under the pretext of discussing her performance and digitally penetrated her. The survivor reported the incident to her mother 20 days later, leading to the filing of an FIR.
