Neeraj Chopra asks govt to ensure justice to wrestlers
April 28, 2023
Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra urges authorities to take "quick action to ensure justice" for wrestlers protesting against former WFI president Brij Bhushan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment and intimidation.
Indian wrestlers are protesting at Jantar Mantar in the national capital against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over allegations of sexual harassment. Top Indian grapplers such as Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and many others wrestlers are involved in the protest against the WFI chief.
"We didn't get justice earlier. We were fighting for justice earlier and we are fighting for justice now. We will continue to do so until the accused is punished. So we will continue to protest here. The girls have blamed him for sexual harassment so an FIR should be registered and he should get punished according to the acts. As you can see nobody came to us we didn't receive a phone call nobody has told us that we will get justice," Sangeeta Phogat said.
