Delhi High Court Set to Hear Protesting Wrestlers' Plea Against WFI Presidential Elections

Notably, the wrestlers were actively involved in the protest last year at Jantar Mantar, which called for the arrest of the then WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over allegations of sexual harassment against several female grapplers.

The plea now accuses the WFI of attempting to silence and sideline protesting athletes, impacting their international participation prospects.

Moreover, the petition calls for the ad-hoc committee to continue managing the WFI's daily affairs or, alternatively, for the appointment of a retired Supreme Court judge to oversee the federation's management.
