Privacy Request Amid Personal Struggles
Over the last two years, Kom has reportedly endured a difficult phase in her personal life related to her marriage. The legal notice mentioned that the athlete does not wish to further comment on her past marriage and has moved on following the separation.
'Over the past two years, my client has been going through a deeply challenging time in her personal life, especially with her ex-husband. During this difficult hour, my client requests her friends, fans, and well-wishers to kindly give her the space and privacy she needs to navigate this difficult time. This notice serves as a formal request for all media entities, in all forms, to refrain from making baseless speculations about my client,' the statement noted.
Legal Consequences for Unfounded Reports
The legal document also included a warning to media outlets and individuals propagating these claims. It stated that any continued publication of false reports could lead to legal consequences, including defamation suits under both civil and criminal laws.
'It is imperative that the media respects Mary Kom's privacy and personal space. One press conference at Manipur has already been done to this effect. Failure to comply with these requests will prompt legal action against those who violate this notice, including but not limited to claims of defamation both civil and criminal and breaches of privacy rights as per applicable laws," the notice concluded.
Through this statement, Mary Kom has sought to bring clarity to the situation and appealed for public and media restraint, urging respect for her privacy during a sensitive period.

Ahead of I-Day, Chinese manjha banned in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: With kite flying gaining popularity ahead of Independence Day celebrations , the district administration on Monday issued a strict advisory banning the use of Chinese manjha and urged citizens, especially two-wheeler riders, to exercise caution and follow safety protocols. Deputy commissioner Ajay Kumar, invoking Section 163 of the Indian Civil Protection Code 2023, ordered a complete prohibition on the storage, sale, purchase, and use of Chinese kite string as well as nylon or synthetic threads within the district. The directive cites the high risk of injuries, accidents, and public disturbance linked to the use of such materials during kite flying. You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon The order further states that violators will face legal action under Section 223 of the Indian Justice Code 2023. Authorities have appealed to the public to fully comply with the ban and refrain from trading or using any Chinese or synthetic kite strings. The administration also reiterated that the sale, storage, or use of synthetic or metal powder-coated kite strings is a punishable offence. Residents were advised against flying kites near power lines, busy roads, highways, or restricted airspace. They were also cautioned against attempting to retrieve kites caught in power lines due to the risk of fatal electric shocks caused by metallic threads. Prabhat Kumar, a resident of Sector 7, pointed out, "Chinese manjha is easily available in the market. Issuing a ban is good, but authorities must ensure these are removed from shelves as well."
