IOA Asks WFI Secretary General To Hand Over Official Documents To Ad-Hoc Panel
ABP NewsThe Indian Olympics Association has asked the secretary general of the Wrestling Federation of India to hand over the official documents including financial instruments to its ad-hoc panel and made it clear that the outgoing office bearers shall have no role in the running of the federation. An ad-hoc committee has been formed by the IOA to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Wrestling Federation of India and also conduct due polls of the NSF. The ad-hoc committee was formed by the IOA at the behest of the Sports Ministry after several top wrestlers returned to the protest site at Jantar Mantar here last month, demanding the arrest of WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for allegedly sexually harassing women grapplers. "With the Ad hoc Committee being in existence, the outgoing office bearers of the WFI shall have no role with respect to the exercise of any function of the NSF for discipline of Wrestling and shall not perform any administrative, financial, regulatory or any other role," said the IOA letter, which has also been marked to the ministry and the WFI secretary general.
