Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) secretary Arun Banerjee has questioned the timing of Manika's allegations against Roy.
Manika had made history at the Tokyo Olympic Games by becoming the first TT player from the country to reach the third round at the Games before losing to Austria's Sofia Polcanova.
Responding to the Table Tennis Federation of India's show-cause notice, Manika strongly denied that she brought disrepute to the game by refusing Roy's help.
Manika said the authorities, including the Table Tennis Federation of India, should not mind personal coaches travelling with the players even in multi-sport events like the Olympics.
Manika wants to continue with her training regimen in Pune while Sathiyan is playing in the Polish league.
Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia who won Bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and table tennis player Manika Batra were felicitated by DIG of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on August 27 in Delhi.
They beat the 94th-ranked Hungarian pairing 11-9, 9-11, 12-10, 11-6. It was a memorable win for Manika and Sathiyan, who don't play a lot of mixed doubles together.
In the women's singles quarter-final, Manika beat Sreeja 3-2 with the scoreline reading 7-11, 11-1 8-11 13-11 11-6 in favour of the two-time Olympian.
The Indian duo entered the pre-quarterfinals of their respective events at the WTT Contender Budapest 2021 tournament.
While 60th-ranked, Batra defeated 115-ranked Sabine Winter of Germany, Kamath upset 58th-ranked Yana Noskova of Russia.
Though Manika's coach Sanmay Paranjape was given access for training sessions in Tokyo, he did not have the accreditation to enter the field of play and a request to upgrade his access card was denied.
Manika had taken her personal coach Sanmay Paranajpe to the Games but he was only allowed to train with her and the player's request for his Field of Play access was denied by the organisers.
