According to media reports, Home Minister Amit Shah held a secret meeting with protesting wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik & Bajrang Punia in Delhi.

While media organisations were not informed of this meeting, in a conversation with Amar Ujala, Sakshi Malik's mother Sudesh Malik, claimed that Sakshi, Vinesh, and Bajrang had a meeting with the Union Home Minister on Saturday night. During the meeting, the Home Minister advised all three athletes to stay calm and allow the law to take its course.

According to Amar Ujala, Sudesh Malik revealed that Shah explained to the wrestlers that no action will be taken against them. While the wrestlers once again demanded the arrest of Brij Bhushan during the meeting, Shah stated that any action taken would be in accordance with the legal process, promising the protesters a fair & impartial probe.

The wrestlers have been demanding the arrest of BJP MP & former WFI Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment by seven wrestlers, including a minor.

While Singh has pleaded innocence in public, the Delhi Police is investigating the case after 2 FIRs were lodged against him, including one under the POCSO Act.
