My social media accounts misused: Sardar Singh
CHANDIGARH: Indian hockey team captain Sardar Singh came out all guns blazing on Thursday and accused the UK-based girl, who has charged Sardar of sexual harassment, of misusing his social media accounts and posting concocted stories, without his permission.
"She had my email ids and all. My friends also used it before. She took my passwords from them and she used to tweet and retweet.

I did not operate my Twitter account. She used to post on her own that we are getting married. At that time, I was playing in Spain and I told the coaches about this," the 29-year-old said here on Thursday.
"I will only say my focus is completely on hockey and please let me play. Whatever will happen in the future, I will update," a disturbed Sardar appealed to the media Sardar also made it clear that he was not involved in any romantic relationship with the girl and they were just "good friends". "We were good friends. There was no romantic relationship between us. I still respect women and I am hurt by the words she has used against me," Sardar said.
Sardar pointed out that he was not in touch with the girl for the last two years and hence the allegation regarding sexual harassment and getting her child aborted were baseless. "I know my limits. I play the game with honesty," Sardar pointed out.
