Global wrestling governing body lifts India suspension, asks WFI not to discriminate against protesting wrestlers

Wrestling's world governing body has lifted the provisional suspension on India, but directed the national federation to provide written guarantees that there would be no discriminatory action against the protesting trio of Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik.

The suspension was imposed by United World Wrestling (UWW) on August 23 last year after the national federation failed to hold elections in time.
