Being mentally harassed: Divyanshi
In the video, Divyanshi said, 'I am being forced to do all this. I am fed up of living here. I don't know what my future holds. Is it right to harass someone mentally? I am very mentally disturbed. I am very scared. I am being harassed from June, July to September. Because she wants to go to the Asian Games.
In the video, Divyanshi said that another player was kept in her place. Whereas Divyanshi had defeated him in the game. Divyanshi said that I have the right to go to the Asian Games. Let me go. He alleged that she was going to the Sports Minister. She is going everywhere. He has misused his power.
Accused of being dropped from the team even after winning the trial
Divyanshi alleged that she had won the final selection trial but after that she was continuously harassed. She claims that during the 10-day camp in Srinagar, she injured her shoulder, due to which she could not practice for 4 to 5 days. She said that despite this she was ready to play later and wanted to participate in the tournament.
The doctor said I was fit to play, then why didn't I take it?
Citing her MRI report and the doctor's advice, Divyanshi said that the doctor had declared her fit to play. He alleges that his medical report was with the coach and the federation, yet he was dropped from the team. He said that if such a big decision was being taken against him, then at least he should have been informed about it and should have got a chance to present his side. She said, I am 18 years old and I have the right to express my opinion.

Expressing his disappointment, he has also talked about suicide in a social media video.
