New Delhi: The Indian women's hockey team had to face defeat in the semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympics. After the defeat, a case of casteist abusing the family members of the team's player Vandana Kataria has come to the fore.

Casteist slur, abusive words used for Vandana's family:

Vandana Kataria's brother has complained to the police. Haridwar SSP Krishnaraj S said that investigation is being done on the complaint of Vandana Kataria's brother. Police have registered an FIR under Section 504 of IPC and Section 3 of SC/ST Act.

Vandana's family filed complaint:

The Indian women's hockey team created history after winning the quarter-finals, but the team lost to Argentina in the semi-final match. After this match on Wednesday, Team India was disappointed, but the performance of the women's team was appreciated by all.

Meanwhile, in Uttarakhand, the police also received a complaint from Vandana Kataria's brother, in which he told about abusive behavior with his family members after losing in the semi-finals. Police is now investigating in this matter. After investigation, the police can take action in the matter.

Let us tell you that the Indian women's hockey team's best performance in the Olympics was in 1980 Moscow Olympics when it finished fourth among six teams. Women's hockey then made its Olympic debut and matches were played on a round-robin basis, with the top two teams reaching the finals. This time Team India was expected to reach the final, but losing in the semi-finals itself, the team was out. Now the team is eyeing the bronze medal.
