Dr. Vidhi Karelia, Tournament Director shared, "Srinath was late for his fourth round. Right after lunch this round was if I am not wrong. The arbiter announced the round and he wasn't there. I called him and he said he was lost in the mall and couldn't find where the tournament space was since he was new there and his time had already started too. He had to ask people around and reach. He was some 2 minutes late to that round against Jeet Shah."
