Wrestling Federation faces legal and public backlash amidst ongoing protests.

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has come under fire for her comment in an interview with the BBC, where she lamented that they thought people would believe them because they are such big players but are being asked to give proof of their allegations. Phogat has been at the forefront of protests against the Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, alleging he sexually harassed hundreds of female wrestlers. She also stirred controversy earlier in the day after claiming the Khap Panchayat has supremacy over other institutions.
