Star badminton player Lakshya Sen was the subject of a First Information Report (FIR) for age fraud that was submitted in Bengaluru. The Indian Penal Code charges Lakshya, his mother Nirmala, father Dhirendra Kumar, brother Chirag, and instructor U Vimal Kumar with cheating (Section 420), forgery (468), using a counterfeit document as genuine (471) and crimes committed by multiple people with a common aim (34) (IPC). Since 2010, the complainant claims that the Sen family and Kumar allegedly faked Lakshya and Chirag’s birth certificates so that they could compete in age-category badminton events.
