Earlier, in October 2018, the parents of two players of state team, which took part in the Youth National Basketball Championship at Udaipur, alleged that their son and daughter were dropped from the team at the very last moment to accommodate a few players via the back door. Medhi termed the allegation baseless and said, “There were some anomalies in the documents which were submitted by both the players and it was because of that we have decided to replace them by other players.”
