The victim says the coach entered her hotel room around 4 am on April 7 and made unwanted physical advances. She says she fought back for about 15-20 minutes before escaping to another room where female players were staying. Later, Kuldeep Vedwan allegedly apologised, begged her not to speak out, claiming his career would be ruined. She also says he kept pressuring her to stay in his room on later hotel visits, promising to turn her into a 'big player' if she cooperated.

Only 5 years? Can anyone tell me if he'll be let out early, as often happens? This incident was in 2023 – why such a long delay before the hearing?
