Controversy

In 2021, fellow compatriot, Manika Batra accused Indian National Coach Soumyadeep Roy of pressuring her to throw a match at the Olympic Qualifiers (in March) to Sutirtha to allow Sutirtha to qualify.[9] Manika Batra would have already qualified because of her higher ranking. A committee composed of two former Supreme Court judges found that Roy had indeed tried to manipulate the match but found no evidence of Batra throwing the match away in an eventual loss to Mukherjee.[10]
