Screenshot from the video that showed kabaddi players in UP taking food from a toilet.
In a shocking incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, players taking part in the girl’s under-17 state-level kabaddi tournament were served food in a toilet.
Some videos of the incident, which were reportedly shot on 16 September by some players, show the participants taking rice and vegetable from vessels kept inside a toilet. Some leftover ‘pooris’ can also be seen on a piece of paper.
The UP state government has suspended Saharanpur sports officer Animesh Saxena after the viral videos led to an outrage, according to NDTV.
खिलाड़ियों का घोर अपमान है ये!
लगता है सत्ता भोगने वालों को सिर्फ़ अपनी सुविधा दिखती है, बाक़ी सब आत्मनिर्भर बनें! https://t.co/jgaBQ67fMN

Saxena said the food was of “good quality” and it was cooked in large vessels on a brick oven near the stadium’s swimming pool, the Times of India reported.
“There was a space crunch and the food was cooked near the stadium pool,” he said.
A probe has been ordered into the whole incident, media reports said.
