After the shock suspension of the Indian Olympics Association by the International Olympic Committee, the International Amateur Boxing Association handed over a provisional suspension to the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation, reports NDTV. 

The IABF is led by Abhay Singh Chautala, who was also elected as the president of the Indian Olympic Association.

In its statement from Lausanne in Switzerland, the AIBA said: Further to the International Olympic Committee's suspension imposed on the Indian Olympic Association, the International Boxing Association executive committee bureau has decided today, 6 December 2012, to provisionally suspend the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation. This provisional suspension is also due to the fact that AIBA had learned about possible manipulation of the recent IABF's election. AIBA will now investigate this election and especially a potential political link between IOA [resident, as former chairman of the IABF, and the IABF election.
