The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Tuesday announced that it has asked the disciplinary committee to investigate the allegedly racial insults made against Mumbai City FC's Serge Kevyn Angoue by Saudi Arabian referee Turki Mohammed Al Khudayr.

"The AIFF follows a zero toleration policy against racism and the complaint has been forwarded to the Disciplinary Committee to investigate into the matter and take appropriate action if found guilty," AIFF said in a statement.

The alleged racist remarks were made on December 15 in the Hero Indian Super League match against Bengaluru FC.
