Wrestlers vs WFI: Bajrang Punia alleges that 'wrestlers being offered money to withdraw case'

Ace wrestler Bajrang Punia on Tuesday claimed that 7 female wrestlers, including a minor, who were allegedly sexually exploited by then Wrestling Federation of India president Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, are being forced to withdraw their police complaint.

'I don't know how this has happened but the girls who have complained are being pressured. WFI officials are going to their homes and offering money,' Punia alleged at a press conference in Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

'If something happens to those girls, the police and government will be responsible. I don't know how the names were disclosed,' he added.
