B'luru stadium: Dirty messages pasted in restroom

Bengaluru: Female athletes were left humiliated at the Kanteerava stadium in Bengaluru, on Monday.

According to reports, dirty printed messages were pasted in four places in the Kanteerava’s restroom, asking women athletes to masturbate before practice.

After a search, it was found that only the ladies' restroom was targeted.

The athletes had earlier complained regarding poor security measures at the stadium, after which, the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES) recently introduced ID cards for coaches and athletes in a bid to check eve-teasing and theft at the stadium.

The incident has left the athletes violated and they also fear of being filmed without their knowledge. A probe into the incident has been initiated by DYES.

Few senior athletes also feel that the incident will discourage parents from sending their female children to the stadium.
