Brij Bhushan Singh’s goons threatened my mother: Wrestler Sakshi Malik alleges

Wrestler Sakhi Malik revealed that her family was getting threats by the goons of former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) boss Brij Bhushan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple athletes.

“For past two-three days, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's goons have become active. My mother is getting threats through phone calls,” the wrestler said. “People are calling and saying that a case will be registered against someone in my family,” she added.

Sakshi, 31, said they will accept a WFI without Sanjay Singh but ruled out her own involvement in running the federation.

"We don't have any issues with the new federation except one man, Sanjay Singh. We don't have any issue if the new body comes back without Sanjay Singh. We do not have any issue with the ad-hoc committee as well," Malik told reporters.

Malik was also informed of the ongoing junior wrestlers' protest against them at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. “I have given 18-20 years to wrestling. Only I know what I have gone through in the last few months,” she responded.
