All India Football Federation (AIFF) suspended and summoned Jamshedpur FC’s Gourav Mukhi for age fraud case that was exposed in October. 

Mukhi had been involved in the controversy over his age after scoring for Jamshedpur in a 2-2 draw against Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League. On paper, he is 16-years-old and had reportedly become the youngest scorer in the Indian Super League (ISL).

According to old reports, the Jharkhand native had been suspended by the AIFF in the past after he had confessed to age fraud. He had been called up to the Indian national camp for the Under-17 World Cup in 2015 but he and his other four teammates from the U-15 nationals-winning Jharkhand team had admitted they were over-age.

“In the interest of fair play, the AIFF Disciplinary Committee based on the prima facie seriousness of the issue has put the player under ‘suspension’ from participation in any AIFF events until a final decision is reached,” a press release by the AIFF disciplinary committee said.
