Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.comIndia's Commonwealth Games weightlifting champion Renu Bala had to catch a rickshaw back to the athletes village after she missed the official transport.
The 24-year-old, who retained her 58kg title on Wednesday, left the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium with her parents, leaving officials to claim that they didn't know where she had gone.
"There are buses for the athletes, but she decided to go off with her parents and gave no information to anybody," said Games secretary-general Lalit Bhanot.
"We didn't know about it. If she had asked for help we would have provided it."
Auto-rickshaws, or tuk-tuks, are a common sight on the gridlocked roads of the Indian capital with 55,000 registered vehicles scrambling for trade.
