The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed petitions filed by star badminton player Lakshya Sen, his family, and his coach Vimal Kumar regarding allegations of forging birth certificates. The court ruled that there was enough evidence to warrant an investigation.

The case began after M G Nagaraj filed a private complaint accusing Sen’s parents, Dhirendra and Nirmala Sen, his brother Chirag Sen, coach U Vimal Kumar, and a Karnataka Badminton Association (KBA) employee of falsifying birth records.
