Ace gymnast Dipa Karmakar is planning to return a BMW car handed over to her by the auto giant’s brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar in August due to maintenance and other issues and replace it with another one. We just want to replace it with another one as it difficult to drive and maintain such a vehicle in Agartala,” Dipa’s father Dulal Karmakar told HT. There are no capable drivers in Agartala town to drive a BMW and the company has no showroom or service centre in the state,” he said. Karmakar said the family is talking with BMW and Badminton Association of Hyderabad officials to replace the BMW. “We have asked them to give us an amount equivalent to the price of the BMW car so that we can choose and purchase one in Agartala.
