The decision was taken by Hockey India's four-member committee after national team player Th Ranjitha Devi accused the entire backroom staff of pressurising her and other team members of the team for sexual favours.
Ranjitha is part of the Commonwealth Games probables who had graduated to the women's team after impressive performances at the junior level and last played for India in March. Kaushik and Ranjitha, along with other support staff members, have been asked to appear before the committee on Wednesday.

The official complaint mentions that members of the support staff were in the habit of getting "escorts" to team hotels on official tours abroad and, at times, even missed team meetings because of the "indulgences". Ranjitha alleged that she was dropped from the team because she refused to give in to wishes of officials.
