Pakistani Kabaddi Star Banned After Waving Indian Flag, Wearing Jersey in Bahrain

• Pakistani kabaddi player Obaidullah Rajput has been indefinitely banned by the Pakistan Kabaddi Federation (PKF).
• The ban stems from Rajput playing for an Indian team in a private tournament in Bahrain without obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
• Rajput wore an Indian jersey and draped himself in the Indian flag after winning a match, with videos and photos going viral.
• PKF Secretary Rana Sarwar cited the NOC violation and playing for a rival nation's team as serious offenses.
• Rajput claims it was a misunderstanding, stating he wasn't informed it was an 'Indian team' and had asked organizers not to use country names.
