TL;DR Summary

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has criticised the slow pace of a police inquiry into sexual harassment accusations against the chief of India's national wrestling body, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, and has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of silence on the issue. Phogat is one of seven female athletes to have lodged a police case against Singh accusing him of sexually harassing them. Singh has denied the allegations. The wrestlers took to the streets in January but withdrew the protest after Singh was stripped of all administrative power at the Wrestling Federation of India.
