Age fraud controversy leads to annulment of student's victory at State School Games

The victory of a student from Kottayam was annulled at the State School Games after confirming age fraud through a bone test. The student, who had won gold in the sub-junior boys' 400-meter race, was disqualified. This has led to strong criticism regarding the failure of district-level authorities to take action despite similar complaints. The incident has resulted in the declaration of the second-place finisher, Sobin K. Sebastian of Idukki, as the new winner.
