Wrestler Babita Kumari, who took silver in women’s 53kg on Thursday, alleged that the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) officials did not provide tickets to her parents so that they could watch her bout. “My parents have come all the way to Gold Coast to watch my bout but there were no tickets for them. I waited till 10pm on Wednesday for the tickets, but they didn’t arrive,” Babita alleged. In men’s doubles, Satwik Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty defeated Mauritius’ Aatish Lubah and Christopher Jean Paul 21-8, 21-12. In mixed doubles, Ashwini Ponnappa and Satwik, and Sikki and Pranaav Chopra advanced to the quarter-finals.
