On friday at Bathinda, Punjab, a fierce altercation broke out between female kabaddi players from different institutions competing in the North Zone Inter university & All india Inter university Kabaddi (Women) championship 2024-25. According to india Today, the altercation started after athletes from Darbhanga university in bihar were accused of a "foul" attack by competitors from mother teresa university in tamil Nadu.
Participants from tamil Nadu included Periyar university, Alagappa university, and Bharathiar university in addition to mother teresa University. From the start of the contest, the sportsmen from tamil Nadu claimed that the referee was biased in favor of their opponents. Tensions between the teams were heightened by the Darbhanga university team's "foul" onslaught and the referee's purported disregard for their tactic.
The referee allegedly struck a member of the mother teresa university squad from tamil Nadu after an incident that erupted as the team argued against the tactic. The teams allegedly got into a violent brawl as a result of this.
In support of their teams, the Darbhanga university team's supporters also joined the conflict.
Videos of the altercation, which saw teammates from both teams hurling plastic chairs and tables at one another, became popular on social media. The female athletes were seen fighting with a few guys in the recordings, although it was unclear from the footage at first if the men were fans or officials.
