NEW DELHI: India has lost the hosting rights of the Asian Wrestling Championships, scheduled to be held here from March 28 to April 2. It's been learnt that the sport's global governing body - United World Wrestling (UWW) - decided to move the tournament out of India following complaints of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
UWW has communicated its decision to the sports ministry-appointed oversight committee, headed by legendary boxer M C Mary Kom, sources confirmed to TOI on Wednesday evening. There hasn't been any official communication from either the oversight committee or the UWW informing the same.
