The AICF also disaffiliated the Madhya Pradesh Chess Association and formed a five-member ad-hoc committee to run its affairs.

The All India Chess Federation (AICA) has suspended its joint secretary Atanu Lahiri for three years for anti-federation activity.

The decision was taken in the Annual General Body Meeting in Jaipur on Thursday. Lahiri was issued a show-cause notice in June following allegations of financial malpractices as a former office-bearer of Bengal Chess Association. Lahiri’s response to the show-cause notice could not satisfy the members of the three-member inquiry committee.
