India’s Wrestling Federation rejects wrestlers’ allegations against president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh
“The WFI, in particular, under the sitting president has always acted keeping the best interests of wrestlers in mind.
“The WFI has enhanced the image of wrestling sport nationally as well as internationally and for the record of this ministry, it is not possible without fair, supportive, clean and strict management of WFI,” PTI quoted the response.
The WFI sent its reply on Friday evening after being asked by the sports ministry to respond to the allegations within 72 hours.
The allegations were made by renowned wrestlers like Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Ravi Dahiya.
