Wrestlers have been protesting in Delhi for more than a month demanding the arrest of National Wrestling Federation President and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh on sexual harassment charges. Then, yesterday, wrestling players came to float the medals they had won for the country in the river Ganga in protest against the denial of justice. Farmer leaders intervened and made the players rethink their decision. Farmer and Jat leaders informed the wrestlers that they were with them. The protest ended and the wrestlers withdrew yesterday with this.
