India Table tennis player Soumyajit Ghosh, who has represented the nation at 2012 and 2016 Olympics, has been accused of allegedly raping a 18-year-old girl. The concerned person filed an FIR at the Barasat Women Police Station on Wednesday.

According to report, the complainant said the 24-year-old Ghosh, who is an Arjuna Awardee, promised to marry 18-year-old girl but then denied it. According to the report, India’s youngest national table tennis champion Ghosh and the girl had first interacted on social media in 2014 and then got into a relationship. The girl has further accused that both met at Ghosh’s flat in Kolkata and even in Siliguri, the table tennis star’s hometown. The complaint adds that she got pregnant and was forced to undergo abortion.

According to the complaint, she even got pregnant and had to undergo an abortion. The girl alleged that she allowed him because he promised to marry her after she turns 18. “He is avoiding my daughter now and so we have no other alternative but to go to the police,” the girl’s father said.

Police, however, have slapped charges of rape, criminal conspiracy, causing miscarriage without woman’s consent and cheating against Ghosh, who is the youngest national champion. Barasat additional SP Abhijit Banerjee said, “We have received a complaint against table tennis player Soumyajit Ghosh and have started an investigation. The details can’t be revealed.”
