Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: Wrestlers protesting, veterans giving up on the sport, Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) getting suspended -- were something that shouldn't have happened in the run-up to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This unforeseen challenge has placed Indian grapplers at a crucial juncture, raising concerns about their preparation and focus on the global stage.

On December 24, the Sports Ministry suspended the WFI, just three days following its elections after wrestlers Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia protested and claimed that the newly-elected WFI President, Sanjay Singh, is a close aide of previous chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
