The reported Allegations are too severe to listen. Vinesh Phogat who is leading the pact, said that the WFI president and his acquaintances (officials or coaches) have sexually harassed countless wrestlers during the National camp. He also disclosed that foreign coaches are unwilling to come to India for the WFI’s behavioral issues.
She also spoke about the treatment she had to deal with after the Tokyo Olympics, stating that the WFI mentally tortured her and pushed her to the point of committing suicide.
