Indian badminton player Jwala Gutta On Tuesday in a series of Tweet spoke about her ‘me too’ movement and said how she was ‘mentally harassed’, claiming she was a victim of selection bias in the national team.

Gutta also accused an unnamed chief selector of harassing and threatening players for partnering with her in a bid to further isolate her. The 35-year-old also hinted that inconsistency in the national selection was the reason she stopped playing badminton.

So when this person couldn’t get through to me…he threatened my partners harassed them…made sure to isolate me in every manner…even after Rio…the one who I was gonna play mixed with was threatened..and I was just thrown out of the team..
