Veteran wushu player Roshibina Devi on Thursday said she would ignore the accusations of mental harassment made against her by fellow player Divyanshi Choudhary in the selection controversy just ahead of the Asian Games and that the national federation's decision to pick her was a "good one".

The 25-year-old Roshibina scored a hat-trick of medals at the Continental showpiece after settling for a silver, following a 0-2 defeat against Zhang Xiaoyu of China in the women's 60kg final.

She had also won a silver in the last edition after clinching a bronze in 2018 Asian Games.

"What happened was not because of me. It was federation's decision (to pick her for Asian Games). Whatever decision the federation (Wushu Association of India) took, it think it was a good decision," Roshibina said after the final bout.

"I will ignore it (the accusation). I just want to focus on my goal," said the player from Manipur when asked about her reaction on the accusations made against her.

Divyanshi, who had beaten Roshibina in the Asian Games trials in Srinagar in June but was later dropped from the squad after an ACL injury, had accused the Manipuri player of working against her to get into the Asian Games team.

"I am really fed up. I have been harassed so much mentally from June, July to now, it's September, I am being harassed, because she (Roshibina) wanted to go (to the Asian Games)," Divyanshi had said in a video on social media.

"Why is she not letting anyone else go? I have defeated her (in the selection trial). I have the right to go to Asian Games," Divyanshi had said.
