Wrestlers question why ex-WFI chief Brijbhushan is still free despite POCSO case

More than 24 days have passed since the wrestlers returned to Jantar Mantar, and the grapplers are aghast at the lack of action against former WFI Chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh.

Questioning why the BJP MP is still free, Olympic bronze medallist Bajrang Punia said, "We want the police to act quickly. Under POCSO act, Brijbhushan should have been taken under custody but clearly, the law is different for those in power."

Bajrang also voiced his support for the IOA's ad-hoc committee that's taken over the affairs of WFI.

Speaking on the ongoing U-17 trials, Bajrang said, "We have no problems with IOA ad-hoc committees conducting trials, we only had a problem with former WFI chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh doing it."

Bajrang also confirmed that the protesting wrestlers won't be able to take part in any trials till their agitation ends and that they have had no contact from Sports Minister Anurag Thakur, who the 23-year-old said is only doing the talking on social media.

Requesting PM Modi & Home Minister Amit Shah for support, Bajrang said the wrestlers will write letters to them, and that they have already written letters demanding support from the female MPs.
