Wrestlers' protest | Minor grappler's father makes a U-Turn, case against BrijBhushan Singh weakens

Wrestlers' protest | Minor grappler's father makes a U-Turn, case against BrijBhushan Singh weakens

A day after admitting at deliberately filing a false police complaint of sexual harassment against the outgoing WFI chief BrijBhushan Sharan Singh, father of the minor wrestler opened up about further details.

When asked why he was changing his story now, the father told PTI that it was better that the truth came out now instead of in the court.

In an elaborate explanation for the origin of his and his daughter's animosity against Singh, the father of the 17-year-old wrestler stated, 'The match was against a Delhi wrestler. The UWW and WFI rules were not followed (in the bout). I have no grudge against the Delhi wrestler. She is also like my daughter but the referee who was also from Delhi deliberately defeated my daughter.'

Asked why he directed his anger towards Singh when the alleged bias was shown by the referee, he said, 'Who had deputed the referee? It was the federation. And who is the head of the federation? So who I will be angry with?' he questioned.

Asked why such serious allegations were levelled against the WFI boss for the defeat of just one bout, the father of the wrestler explained, 'Because of that one bout, we missed out on four international tours and probably four medals.'

The Rohtak man also insisted that he and his daughter were not influenced by the protesting wrestlers.
