KOLKATA: Asian Games gold medallist Pinki Pramanik was arrested on Thursday after the athlete’s live-in girlfriend claimed Pinki was male and habitually raped and assaulted her. Pinki had won gold in the women’s 4×400 metres relay in 2006 at Doha, Qatar, but retired two years ago after a car crash.

Police have moved Barasat district court to seek a medical examination to determine Pinki’s gender after an external examination at a private clinic revealed that the athlete had both male as well as female reproductive organs.

Biddhannagar police commissioner Rajeev Kumar said the case (which has charges of rape, assault and impersonation) depends entirely on the medical verdict.

Pinki, however, managed to stave off the examination. “I have undergone numerous tests during my career as an athlete. Why should I agree to more ridiculous tests?” Pinki told reporters outside the court, alleging that the complainant was levelling false charges because of a debt of Rs 3 lakh.
