Don't want to put victims and their families in danger by disclosing their names, says Vinesh Phogat

NEW DELHI: Defending her stance of not revealing the names of the victims, Commonwealth gold medalist Vinesh Phogat on Friday clarified that why she has not mentioned the names so far as it would put the young wrestlers and their families in danger and said that it was one of the reasons for having not yet filed an FIR against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

"If we disclose the name of the victims it would put them in danger including their families. We can't disclose their identity as nothing has been put on paper and it has not yet been made official. We came here to fight for our dignity and if that is taken away from us what is the point of us protesting? We can't share all the intricate details as this is a sensitive matter involving the self-respect of female wrestlers. We will share all the details with you once everything is assured to us," Phogat said while speaking to the media on Friday.
