The player has been provided time till December 23 to submit a reply, defending his actions.
Antonio Perosevic will remain ineligible for selection as he serves an automatic one-match ban in SC East Bengal's next game against Hyderabad FC on December 23.
Red Card Incident
The incident occurred in the second minute of injury time when the Croatian shoved the referee for calling a foul. With SC East Bengal down by two goals and heading towards a fourth defeat, Perosevic looked a frustated figure. He fouled Khassa Camara on the edge of the centre circle when tussling for the ball. The referee, who was close by, immediately blew his whistle and gave a free-kick to NorthEast United. Agitated by the call, Perosevic had a little face-off with the referee and pushed him. He was immediately given marching orders and is now set to miss SC East Bengal's next game.
