It is not the first time that East Bengal have found themselves in hot soup over player transfers...
Abinash Ruidas found himself in a similar situation to what Jobby Justin is experiencing currently.
Ruidas was selected by Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) player's draft but his transfer could not be completed since East Bengal was reluctant to issue the ‘No Objection Certificate (NOC)’ after claiming that the winger had another year’s contract with the club while the player instead spoke otherwise.
Ruidas filed an official complaint that East Bengal had forged his signature and shared alleged fake contract papers with the Indian Football Association (IFA), which is the West Bengal’s governing body for football.
