As Olympic under-achievers India head home from Rio having failed to win a gold medal, its gate-crashing, selfie-taking officials have been accused of failing to help its athletes taste success.
A string of below-par performances saw India win just two medals at the Games, fewer than the six clinched during their best-ever performance in London four years earlier.

"Officials do not have the welfare of the athletes on their mind. All they are bothered about is having a good time,"Indian sports minister Vijay Goel has described as a "misunderstanding" reports that his entourage tried to muscle unaccredited people accompanying him into Olympic venues.
"While other countries have scripted a turnaround in their fortune like the UK, we sadly continue to languish in mediocrity."
"We have become the laughing stock of the world."
