Mohun Bagan Club has moved Fifa over the Bhaichung Bhutia issue. “We have sent a letter to Fifa giving details of our contract with Bhaichung and explaining the reason behind his suspension,” Mohun Bagan secretary Anjan Mitra said. Incidentally, Bagan had suspended Bhutia for six months without pay but the latter has been given an interim relief by the AIFF-appointed arbitrator Amarendra Sharan.
