Top Indian Female Wrestlers Protest Sexual Harassment Cover-Up by Sports Federation
- Vinesh Phogat alleges the Wrestling Federation of India and Sports Minister hushed up past sexual harassment complaints instead of taking action.
- Sexual harassment cases were reported twice before in the national training camp but were swept under the rug by the WFI.
- Complainants told the sports minister of the abuse but he only formed an oversight panel instead of acting.
- The Delhi Police have not yet questioned witnesses and are stalling the investigation.
- While many wrestlers support the protest, most cannot join due to training commitments.
