Hockey India is currently facing a significant crisis as a senior official is accused of sexual harassment, misconduct, and abuse of authority. An anonymous complaint sent to key figures, including Kalpana Sharma (Director General of the Sports Authority of India) and Dilip Tirkey (president of Hockey India), outlines serious allegations, including inappropriate conduct towards female officials and players, coercion for personal interactions, and demands for money related to coaching opportunities. This is not the first time the official has faced such accusations; a timeline of complaints stretches from 2016 to 2026, with multiple internal complaints reportedly ignored. The latest formal complaint, filed in April 2026, follows the official's previous resignation in 2023 and subsequent reinstatement in September 2025. Testimonies from within the system reveal a culture of silence and fear, prompting calls for independent investigations and better protections for whistleblowers. This situation is part of a troubling trend in Indian hockey, which has seen various misconduct allegations in recent years, raising critical questions about governance and accountability in the sport.
