Indian Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik has alleged that the minor complainant in the sexual harassment case against former WFI Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh changed her statement under pressure.

"There's huge pressure on us to compromise," she said during an interview with NDTV, accusing Brij Bhushan of getting his men to call and threaten the complainants.

Protesting wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik said that the 'minor' wrestler's father is going through depression because of the pressure he has been put under, following which he also withdrew the complaint.

With the Asian Games coming up, Sakshi Malik has told the media that they won't be participating in the games if Brij Bhushan isn't arrested by then.
