Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: Young Indian wrestlers on Wednesday protested against seniors Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik here at the Jantar Mantar.

The agitated grapplers demanded action against the trio "for hampering the progress of wrestling in India".

For the record, the wrestlers didn't get a chance to play any national in 2023 because of the protest led by Bajrang Sakshi and Vinesh against the former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for his alleged sexual harassment involvement.
