100s Of Wrestlers Protest - This Time Against Bajrang, Sakshi And Vinesh

The protesters were carrying banners that read: 'UWW save our wrestling from these 3 wrestlers'.

The ongoing crisis in Indian wrestling took a fresh twist today when hundreds of junior wrestlers assembled at Jantar Mantar in Delhi to protest against the loss of one crucial year of their careers, a situation for which they blamed top grapplers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat.

Loaded in buses, the junior wrestlers arrived from different parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi, catching the police unaware.

Close to 300 of them came from Arya Samaj Akhara in Chhaprauli, Baghpat while many others came from the Virender Wrestling Academy in Narela. Many are still packed in buses and they plan to de-board and join their colleagues when more wrestlers arrive at the landmark protest site.
