The National Games Technical Conduct Committee (GTCC) has replaced the Director of Competition for Taekwondo following allegations that some officials had fixed results in 10 of the 16 weight categories well before the competition officially began.

S. Dinesh Kumar has been appointed as the new Director of Competition, taking over from T. Praveen Kumar after a three-member Prevention of Manipulation of Competition Committee (PMCC) made 'strong recommendations'. GTCC Chairperson Sunaina Kumari confirmed the acceptance of the PMCC’s recommendations.
