"Will Fight In Court": Wrestlers Announce End To #MeToo Protest

Five months after some of India's top women wrestlers accused their politically powerful federation chief of sexual harassment and sparked a nationwide protest movement, they announced on Sunday that they were moving their street protests to the court now.

Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia posted identical tweets saying that the government has fulfilled its promise of filing a chargesheet against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a member of parliament of the ruling BJP.

"In this case, the wresters' will continue till we get justice but it (fight) will be in court and not on the road," the statement on Twitter read.

"Regarding the reform in WFI, the election process, as promised, has begun. We will wait for the fulfilment of promises made by the government regarding the July 11 elections," they added.
