The court battle between boxers Akhil Kumar and Dilbagh Singh over a defamation suit filed by the former has become uglier with the Chandigarh District Court issuing warrants against mediapersons in whose presence the "slanderous" comments were made.
Dilbagh had alleged that Akhil, a former Commonwealth Games gold-medallist, had influenced the selection committee in the national team trials last year to get his protege Mandeep Jangra picked in the squad.
Akhil had then filed a defamation case against Dibagh for his charges.
