Mystery woman leads Indian contingent!
28 Jul 2012
The Indian contingent at the Olympics was led by a mystery women clad in red T-shirt and light blue jeans, marching ahead of the Indian contingent, just behind flag-bearer Sushil Kumar, if TV grabs and newspaper photos are anything to go by.
The Indian contingent, which so far failed to land any medals, has instead got into a controversy after the mysterious woman was found to be marching along with them during the opening ceremony today.
Officials accompanying the contingent say they have no idea how the woman whose identity is not known landed up in the contingent.
According to CNN-IBN, the woman was neither a flower girl nor a petal carrier.
PKM Raja, India's Chef de Mission and president of the All Indian Boxing Association, said: "We have no clue who this woman was. Somebody from the security pushed her into the contingent, we had no idea. We were under the impression that she was part of the organisation."
"We were initially told that she would accompany the contingent till the track but she went on to take the entire lap. There was another man also but he stayed back and did not enter the stadium," Raja added.
"We have taken strong exception to this. The march past is for the athletes and officials attached to the contingent. We are totally taken by surprise how a person could just intrude into the track."
