Indian wrestlers pause protest after meeting Anurag Thakur.
Thu Jun 08, 2023 6:35 am
India's top wrestlers have suspended their protests after a senior minister promised them a swift investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against their federation chief.
The protesters have been camping in Delhi since April, demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
On Wednesday, they met Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and held talks that lasted nearly six hours. Mr Thakur said the police would complete an investigation against Mr Singh by 15 June.
He said the wrestlers had assured him that they would not hold any demonstrations until then.
The government has also promised to hold elections to the executive committee of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) by 30 June and said that neither Mr Singh, nor any of his close associates, would have a role in the new panel.
"It is better for the country to have the award-winning grapplers on the mat than on the roads," Mr Thakur told The Indian Express newspaper after the meeting.
