      WFI elections: Anita Sheoran, witness against Brij Bhushan files nomination for president's post

      As the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections approach, candidates filed nominations at the Olympic Bhawan on July 31 for the 15 posts in contention, including 4 for the WFI president.

      Among those whole filed nominations for the August 12 elections, 18 were from ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's camp, while the other group did not divulge much information regarding their candidates.

      But a name that stood out was Anita Sheoran, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, who was one of the witnesses in the alleged sexual harassment case against Brij Bhushan.

      Sheoran filed her nomination for the post of WFI President, being the only female candidate to do so.

      Candidates filed their nominations before Chief Justice of J&K Mahesh Mittal Kumar, the Returning Office appointed for the elections.

      'There are four candidates for the post of president, three for senior vice-president, six for vice-president, three for the post of general secretary, two for treasurer, three for joint secretary and nine for executive members' post. Against 15 posts, 30 persons have applied,' said Justice Kumar.

      The last date for withdrawing nominations is August 7.

      Brij Bhushan is ineligible to contest as he has completed 12 years as head of the federation -- the maximum period allowed as per the National Sports Code.

      None of the BJP MP's family members are contesting for any of the WFI posts, a condition set by protesting wrestlers when WFI elections talks were held.
