Churchill Brothers sponsor will withdraw if allegations true
January 7th, 2010 - 2:49 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Kochi, Jan 7 (IANS) K.C. Abraham, managing director of Kunnath Pharmaceuticals, the main sponsor of the Churchill Brothers Football Club, Thursday said he will have no qualms about withdrawing their sponsorship if the molestation allegations against the team are true.
The Churchill Brothers football team landed in controversy when three of its players were arrested Tuesday on charges of allegedly molesting a Spice Jet air hostess on board the aircraft. They were later released on bail.
“Depending on the timing, we will take up this issue with the Alemao brothers and it should happen either today or tomorrow. Once we get a clear picture of the entire sequence of events and if there is an iota of truth in the allegations, we will not hesitate to withdraw the sponsorship,” Abraham, who was on his way to Goa, told IANS over telephone.
“See, ours is a company which is engaged in traditional products and we have so many women working in our company. Moreover, I have three daughters and we have a value system where women are given the highest respect. Hence I am reaching Goa to get a complete account of what happened. If it is true, then there will be no association with the football team… if it is the other way round, then our association will continue,” Abraham said.
