The 2012 Asia Kabaddi cup was the second edition of the circle style Asia Kabaddi Cup. It was played in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan from 1 to 5 November 2012 with teams from 6 Asian countries.It was won by Pakistan who won the competition by technical rule as India decided to walkout of the match. India who were forfeited for walking away with 6 minutes remaining in the game had claimed that the officials were unfair to them in this final match. Things worsened further when Indian coach Goormel Singh was shown a green card by the referee for his 'constant interference in field matters'. He was said to have crossed the line literally, entering the field of play when he shouldn't have. This gave rise to heated arguments between the two teams and the scene ended with India walking out in protest. It was an anti climatic end to what had otherwise been a great contest between the two sides.
