Rathi with the help of Haryana Police and Muscle men forcefully occupied the Haryana Olympic Bhawan at Panchkula and office of the Haryana Olympic Association and tried to remove Mr. Abhay Singh Chautala from his post.[1] The case is under litigation in the court of Law [2] However, the Indian Olympic Association stands besides the Haryana Olympic Association headed by Mr. Abhay Singh Chautala, MLA [3]

The forged case against Mr. H. S. Bhadu has been filed by Haryana Police later Mr. Bhadu get bail from High Court [4] and the honorable High Court of Punjab and Haryana issued notice to IPS Mr. Param Veer Rathi.
