Three Indian wushu players from Arunachal Pradesh - Nyeman Wangsu, Onilu Tega and Mepung Lamgu - have been denied entry to China for the Asian Games 2023. The rest of the 7-member Indian team flew to Hangzhou after transiting in Hong Kong. But the three players were not allowed to board the flight to China due to lack of proper clearance, and were brought back to New Delhi. Indian officials have taken up the matter with the Asian Games organisers and the Olympic Council of Asia. Chef de Mission Bhupinder Singh Bajwa said he is in talks with OCA to resolve the issue and hopes the players can fly out by evening. The players were earlier issued stapled visas instead of stamped ones for the University Games in July, leading to India's withdrawal from the event.
