Arnab, who has also led the national team, has also been cautioned by the disciplinary committee.

Shankarlal Chakraborty, the assistant coach of Mohun Bagan, was given his marching orders by the referee at the Kanchenjunga Stadium on April 2 as he was found to be using offensive language against the officials. Shankarlal has been suspended for two matches in the I-League and fined Rs. 50,000.

Shankarlal Chakraborty, who has also represented Mohun Bagan and East Bengal in his short career, has been cautioned by the disciplinary committee from committing such mistakes in future.
