"Will Prove Him Wrong": Vinesh Phogat On Brij Bhushan's "Conspiracy" Claim

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh had claimed that Ms Phogat's entry into politics -- with a Congress candidature from Haryana -- only proved that the sexual harassment allegations against him and the subsequent protest by wrestlers were engineered by the party as well.

Olympian Wrestler-turned politician Vinesh Phogat today suggested that everything former Wrestling Federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said has been proved wrong. His latest comments about her would prove no different, Ms Phogat said.

The former MP and Wrestling Federation chief had claimed that Ms Phogat's entry into politics -- with a Congress candidature from Haryana -- only proved that the sexual harassment allegations against him and the subsequent protest by wrestlers were engineered by the party as well.

He also alleged that Ms Phogat violated rules in Olympics by trying out for two different weight categories the same day and hinted that her disqualification ahead of the final bout was a "result given by god".
