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.
