Shooting federation suspends Koly following her allegations

The Bangladesh Shooting Sports Federation has temporarily suspended national team shooter Kamrunnahar Koly for allegedly violating the code of conduct of the national team training camp.

The decision was communicated to Koly's employers, the Bangladesh Navy, through a letter sent on January 1. The federation has also informed the Bangladesh Olympic Association about the suspension.

Shooting federation general secretary Aleya Ferdousi said the suspension was imposed due to breaches of several clauses of the camp's code of conduct. Although the punishment is currently temporary, Koly has been given three days to submit a show-cause explanation as to why the suspension should not be made permanent.

Koly had earlier been vocal, along with several others, about alleged irregularities involving federation joint secretary GM Haider, including accusations related to sexual harassment. Federation officials, however, did not address those allegations in the suspension notice and maintained that the action was taken strictly on disciplinary grounds.
