LAHORE: The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has decided to submit the case involving Imran Butt to its disciplinary committee after receiving a reply to its letter from PIA, the parent body of the Pakistan international goalkeeper.

PHF secretary Shahbaz Ahmed Senior informed that the PHF had written to the PIA’s authorities informing them about Imran’s indiscipline as the goalkeeper, through a video footage, publicly levelled allegations on head coach Khawaja Junaid for mentally torturing him.

Junaid wasn’t happy with the Imran’s performance and according to the goalkeeper, the coach had alleged that he conceded goals deliberately.
