Some of the players, who were allowed free time until 11 on Saturday evening, got drunk and indulged in fisticuffs in their hotel room.[break]
According to a team source, debutant Anil Ojha manhandled former skipper and goalkeeper Bikash Malla while the latter was trying to counsel the inebriated Ojha.
Meanwhile, skipper Sagar Thapa intervened and settled the argument between Shiva Shrestha and Jagjit Shrestha at Hotel Bedrock in Lakeside, Pokhara.
Following the incident, coach Graham Roberts and the team management ordered Ojha and Shiva Shrestha to leave immediately on Sunday morning. The two did not travel along with teammates on their way back to Kathmandu.
"We have also heard of the incident. We´ll consult the team manager, coach and coaching staff and question the alleged players tomorrow (Monday). We´ll decide the matter after finding out the fact," said Lalit Krishna Shrestha, the spokesperson for All Nepal Football Association.
