The athletes had protested earlier this year, in January, demanding the resignation of 6-time BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh along with the resignation of the accused coaches and trainers and for the Wrestling Federation of India to be disbanded. They had also demanded that the wrestling training center be moved to Delhi away from Singh’s vicinity in Lucknow.
On January 23, the Union Sports Ministry asked the BJP MP from Kaiserganj to step down from his role and set up an Oversight Committee, headed by boxing legend MC Mary Kom to probe the allegations and set a deadline of one month to submit its findings. According to PTI, the committee was given a one-month deadline, but the panel submitted its report in the first week of April and its findings have not been made public so far.
As per latest development, the Supreme Court has issued notice to Delhi Police seeking clarification against Brij Bhushan on the pleas by the wrestlers.
