No way kept from Indian players:


Officials accompanying the Indian contingent in Tokyo have told PTI that Vinesh Phogat created a ruckus there that she would not stay in the rooms next to Indian players Sonam, Anshu Malik and Seema Bisla as these players came from India and She can get infected by them.
