NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court refused to interfere with exemptions granted to Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat for the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou, on Saturday, the day the selection trials were held at the Indira Gandhi (IG) indoor stadium here.
The development meant Antim Panghal, fellow wrestler in Vinesh’s women’s freestyle 53kg category, qualified as her ‘standby’ for the Asiad by winning the trial.
