Afghan MMA star accused of attacking Indian fighter

KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghan MMA star Abdul Azim Badakshi has been accused of leading an attack on Indian fighter Srikant Sekhar.

An Indian media outlet reported on Wednesday the brawl occurred at Matrix Fight Night 9 in New Delhi on June 24.

As a result of the assault, India Today said, Sekhar had his jaw broken besides suffering other wounds. He was hospitalised after the assault.

Parvin Dabas, actor and MMA talk show expert, alleged Badakshi had two passports, one Afghan and another Indian.

Dabas, who released photos of the player’s Indian passport and Aadhar Card, accused the Afghan star of trying to flee India.

“Badakshi is holding two passports, Afghani and Indian and has made an Aadhar Card, is attempting to flee. Not sure if an FIR has been filed yet by @DelhiPolice. Am being told same is being done under bail able offences,” Dabas tweeted.
