The junior athletics coach, who accused Haryana sports minister Sandeep Singh of sexual misconduct, on Friday filed a police complaint against him.
“We have received the complaint and sent it to SHO police station sector 26 for necessary legal action,” said Manisha Choudhary, senior superintendent of police (SSP), Chandigarh.
The woman coach had on Thursday alleged that Singh, a former hockey captain and sitting BJP MLA from Pehowa in Kurukshetra, indulged in sexual misconduct when she visited his official residence in Chandigarh.
The woman visited the Chandigarh police headquarters on Friday and had met SSP Choudhary and SP Shruti Arora.
“I have full faith in Chandigarh police and was assured a fair inquiry,” said the woman, who was recruited as junior coach in September. The woman, who took part in the Rio Olympics, was recruited under the government’s outstanding sports person scheme.
The woman claimed that she has been receiving intimidating messages on social media.
