Top Indian wrestlers have postponed an upcoming protest after Sports Minister Anurag Thakur promised a swift conclusion to the investigation into sexual assault allegations against the country’s wrestling body chief.
Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and Asian Games medallist Vinesh Phogat have been leading protests over government inaction against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is also a member of parliament from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
