The Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) meeting in Sonepat today revoked suspension of former national champion Soumyajit Ghosh. The suspension was handed out to him in March this year following allegations of rape against him by an ex-girlfriend. The allegations prompted the TTFI to provisionally suspend him, which meant the paddler was left out of India's Commonwealth Games squad in Gold Coast.
Ghosh's legal troubles finally came to an end after he married the rape accuser four months after his career nose-dived owing to the crisis. The withdrawal of suspension means Ghosh is eligible to participate in all national and international tournaments, with the Senior Nationals starting at Cuttack from Friday.
