JAMMU, Nov 8: For adopting the fraudulent means and ways to win medals, the full team of the Government Degree College (GDC) Poonch was scratched thus denied participation in the two-day inter-college men's boxing championship got underway at Gulshan Ground boxing ring, here today.
Soon after the actual competition starts, the organizing committee, under the chairmanship of Director Sports and Physical Education, found two Poonch boxers with `fictitious' Identify Cards.

"A new trend has evolved among the participating colleges to field players with fake names in the inter-college competitions. Today, on a specific complaint, we cross checked the teams and identities of the players. It resulted into two boxers were found carrying fictitious I Cards. So, following the rules, we have not allowed the entire team of GDC Poonch to participate in the competition," Director Sports and Physical Education, University of Jammu, Prof Dhian Singh said.
