He said that the chief arbiter told the girl and her mother that the tournament director deemed that his student's dress was "seductive" and a "temptation from a certain angle far, far away." Kaushal said the statement by the tournament director was "completely out of line" and "ridiculous". The tournament director promised to call her back after a discussion with the chief arbiter, but that this did not happen, he said. Kaushal is asking for a public apology from the tournament director of the championship. The tournament director told The Star that the matter is being investigated.
