Wrestlers Protest: Bajrang, Vinesh deny reports of 'compromise' between grapplers and Brij Bhushan

Dismissing the reports of a compromise between the protesting wrestlers and the outgoing Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, Bajrang Punia on Friday reiterated the demand for Singh’s arrest and accused him of using his influence to set a false narrative.

The Delhi police on Friday took wrestler Sangeeta Phogat, Punia’s wife, to Singh’s official residence to recreate the sequence of events that led to the sexual harassment of which he has been accused.

“At 1.30 pm women officers took Sangeeta Phogat to Brij Bhushan’s official residence in Delhi. They were there for half an hour. They asked her to recreate the scene and recall the places where she faced harassment,” a PTI report quoted sources as saying.

However, after Sangeeta was seen at Singh’s residence, there were reports of the wrestlers trying to settle the issues with him.

Punia took to Twitter quickly to deny the claims and accused Singh of running a false narrative and harassing the wrestlers.

महिला पहलवान पुलिस इन्वेस्टीगेशन के लिए क्राइम साईट पर गयीं लेकिन मीडिया में चलाया कि वे समझौता करने गई हैं।

बृजभूषण की यही ताक़त है. वह बाहुबल,राजनीतिक ताक़त और झूठे नैरेटिव चलवाकर महिला पहलवानों को परेशान कर रहा है। उसकी गिरफ़्तारी ज़रूरी है। पुलिस की हमें तोड़ने की कोशिश।
