Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain pointed out the inaccurate map of India at a restaurant in Glasgow during the Commonwealth Games 2026. The star boxer who bagged silver for the country in the women’s 75 kg boxing event in the quadrennial event in Glasgow, was out with the Indian boxing contingent at a local eatery to celebrate their record-breaking Commonwealth Games campaign. However, during the outing, the Assam boxer was left disappointed after noticing an inaccurate depicted map of India.
The map, printed on the board at Mister Singh’s India, had the entire North East region missing out as well as incorrect depiction of Jammu and Kashmir. The Olympic medallist raised the issue with restaurant management, and urged them to change the map. The moment was caught on camera and spread like wildfire on the internet.
“Please don’t take this the wrong way. I felt a little hurt by this. In the map of India, our North East is missing,” she was heard saying. “Even outside (on the board), the map that’s displayed has cut off the North East. As someone from the North East, that really hurts us. That’s all I wanted to say. Please keep this in mind next time,” she added.
Restaurant Issues Apology; Deletes Instagram Account Later
Soon after the video went viral, the restaurant management took responsibility for the mistake and issued an apology. They also assured to rectify the mistake and change the Indian map. However, minutes after their apology, the outlet ended up deleting its Instagram account.

“First and foremost, we would like to unequivocally apologise for the depiction of the wrong map of India. We will take immediate steps to correct this. Once again our sincere apologies, we never wanted to offend anyone rather wanted to serve with pride to Indian contingent.”
“We will change the logo with proper map. It was our humble privilege and honour, that we served team India, after their fantastic, achievements in the Commonwealth Games.
