The video depicts Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Shishir Kumar Mishra angrily chasing a player on the court, hurling a racket at him, and continuing the pursuit until they left the premises. Mishra, however, dismissed the allegations as baseless. In response to the controversy, District Magistrate Taranjot Singh has ordered an inquiry into the matter and requested a comprehensive report.

Clash Over Refusal to Play

Reports indicate that Mishra arrived at the stadium and requested the players, who were already fatigued from hours of practice, to play a match with him. Initially reluctant, the players eventually agreed after persistent pressure from Mishra and his associates. During the match, Mishra reportedly became enraged when a player made an error. He allegedly began hitting the player with a racket and chased him off the court.
