Vinesh Phogat said that it is very difficult to stand against such a person who has been misusing his power for so long. She revealed that before staging protest at Jantar-Mantar for the first time the wrestlers met an official, but no action was taken. Vinesh said that before three-four months while they were protesting at Jantar Mantar, they met an officer. They told him in detail about how women athletes are sexually harassed and mentally abused.
Vinesh Phogat targeted Anurag Thakur by alleging that he didn’t do anything except constitute an oversight panel. Phogat said they had shared their ordeal with Thakur and informed him about their sexual harassment. Following the meeting they concluded their protest demonstration. Phogat alleged that he tried to hush up the matter by constituting a committee. No further action has been taken so far.
