Drop charge-sheeted members by October 31: IOC to IOA

According to a letter sent by IOC to IOA addressing senior officials, including acting president Vijay Kumar Malhotra, the international body wants IOA to hold fresh elections by December 15. If the IOA fails, India could face more punishment. The IOA has been in exile since last December when the IOC's executive board suspended India after Lalit Bhanot, who is facing corruption charges linked to the scandal-hit New Delhi Commonwealth Games in 2010, was elected secretary-general of the IOA.
