Union Youth Affairs & Sports Minister Anurag Thakur reacted to wrestlers threatening to immerse their medals in river Ganga and said that the grapplers should wait for Delhi Police to conclude their investigation.

'They should not take any steps that may cause harm to the sport or aspiring wrestlers. We all are in favour of the sport and sportspersons,' added Thakur.
