We submitted our proof with games anlysis to #AICF.
I was told by an office-bearer: we were making the complaint because of 'jealousy' abt a new talent.

...a 3 member fact-finding committee.
It never submitted a report.
Meanwhile, Singh's associate Umakanth Sharma was caught red handed, and banned from playing #Chess by AICF for 10 years.
Sharma (peak 2484!) gained 495 Elos in 6 months, Singh (peak 2523) 250 points in a yr.
