As per a report by India Today, 70-year-old man named Malaisamy from Ramanathapuram district in Tamil Nadu has filed a petition stating that he wants to get married to the 24-year-old shuttler. He has also said that he will abduct Sindhu and marry her if the proper arrangement for marriage is not made.
The reported incident took place during the weekly meetings for the general public at the district collector’s office. Malaisamy reached the meeting, carrying with him a photo of badminton gold medalist PV Sindhu and of himself and a letter which contained his interest in marrying the athlete.
