Sangeeta Phogat, a rising Indian wrestler and Bajrag Punia’s wife, stated on Friday that the wrestlers will continue to protest and fight for justice. Wrestlers in India are protesting in Jantar Mantar in the national capital against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) head Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over sexual harassment claims. Top Indian wrestlers including Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and many others have joined the protest against the WFI chairman.

“We did not receive justice earlier. We were fighting for justice before, and we are still fighting for it now. We shall keep doing so until the offender is punished. As a result, we will continue to demonstrate here. The girls have accused him of sexual harassment, hence a FIR should be filed and he should be punished for his actions. As you can see, no one came to us, and we did not receive a phone call.
