With wonder boy Budhia Singh reiterating that he would not return to the Sport Hostel, the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) on Monday engaged psychologist Prof UN Dash to counsel him to return to the hostel.
Meanwhile, on Monday evening Budhia left for Delhi along with his mother Sukanti Singh for promotion of a movie ‘Budhia Singh, Born to Run,’ a Hindi movie directed by Soumendra Padhi. The movie is based on the Budhia who ran 62 km at the age of four.
Notably, the 14-year-old marathon runner Budhia is unwilling to return to the State-run-Sports Hostel in the city, where he was staying since 2007. He had left the hostel on May 10 during summer vacation and did not return thereafter.
However, Budhia alleges that he was not getting training at the Sport Hostel up to his expectation.
Budhia’s mother Sukanti Singh also said that she would prefer to allow his son to stay at a private place where he would get proper training.
