Wrestlers on ‘trade-off’ claim as Sangeeta Phogat taken to WFI chief’s office
Wrestlers on ‘trade-off’ claim as Sangeeta Phogat taken to WFI chief’s office
Delhi Police on Friday clarified that there was fake news doing the rounds that women wrestlers went to Brij Bhushan’s house.
Taking advantage of the wrestler’s row, rumour mongers became active by spreading a news that Wrestlers were settling the sexual harassment issue when Sangeeta Phogat was spotted at the residence of the Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
On Friday Vineh Phogat and Bajrang Punia criticised reports of a settlement.
The protesting wrestlers claimed thay Brij Bhushan was using his power to change the narrative while in reality a woman complainant was taken to Brij Bhushan’s official residence as it was the crime site. “This is the power of Brij Bhushan. He is busy harassing women wrestlers by using his muscle power, political power and running false narratives.
Vinesh Phogat tweeted once again demanding his arrest adding that If the police arrests him instead of breaking us, there is hope of justice, otherwise no.
However, there was a clarification from the Wrestlers and Delhi Police that the woman wrestler did not visit Brij Bhushan’s house, but was taken by the police for investigation.
Meanwhile, Vinesh further tweeted that Women wrestlers had visited the crime site for police investigation, but it was run in the media that they had gone to compromise.
This is the power of Brij Bhushan. He is troubling women wrestlers by running muscle power, political power and false narratives. His arrest is necessary. Police trying to break us,” Bajrang Punia tweeted.
Bajrang Punia tweeted that it wasn’t the first time that wrestlers’ protest became the target of misinformation. Recently, it was reported that the wrestlers ended their protest after they resumed their railways duty.
Meanwhile, Brij Bhushan claimed nobody came to his residence.
