Barasat (WB): A medical report submitted on Monjday by the police in a court here after investigation confirmed Asian Games gold medal winner Pinki Pramanik to be a male.
Based on the report of the medical test done by a board of doctors at the state-run SSKM hospital in Kolkata, the police filed a charge sheet against Pinki, now on bail, charging the athlete with rape and cheating as well as charges of holding out threats.
Pinki was accused by her live-in partner Anamika Acharya of being a male who raped her, which led to Pinki’s arrest on June 14 and an order for medical examination to confirm the gender was issued.
Pinki, who won the 4×400 m relay gold in 2006 Doha Asian Games, was freed from jail on July 11 pending disposal of all cases. Pinki’s earlier reports of gender tests were inconclusive both at a private nursing home at Barasat as well as at Barasat general hospital. (PTI)
