According to PSB, the claim was worded in a manner that created the impression of a gold medal victory.<br \/>\nThe Board also raised concerns that PNF Chairman Mudassar Razzaq Arain reinforced this misleading impression during televised interviews on mainstream media, where he explicitly referred to a gold medal win and publicly thanked senior government officials for their appreciation. A viral video of such an interview was also referenced in the official notice.<br \/>\nAccording to PSB, this purported achievement was used by the federation to apply for cash rewards under the 2024 Cash Award Policy, which subsequently led to government-level recognition and benefits.<br \/>\nThe notice has instructed the Pakistan Netball Federation to provide a comprehensive written explanation within three (03) days. Failure to do so will result in the matter being referred to the competent authorities for further necessary action.<br \/>\nCopies of the letter have also been sent to relevant federal ministers, the
