The Hindu  

As wrestler’s sit-in protest entered third day, Indian Olympic Association on Friday called an emergency Executive Council meeting to discuss their demands. The Association formed a seven-member committee to probe the allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. A day after threatening to lodge multiple FIRs against the WFI President, the wrestlers alleged in their letter financial misappropriation on part of the WFI and claimed that the coaches and sports science staff at the National camp are “absolutely incompetent”. Putting forward four demands, the wresters wrote: “We request the Indian Olympic Association to immediately appoint a committee to enquire into the complaints of sexual harassment.” The wrestlers also reiterated their demand that WFI be disbanded and its President be sacked. Vinesh Phogat had on Thursday said that more woman wrestlers have come forward with their stories of sexual exploitation and they will file multiple FIRs against the WFI President.
