What happened at midnight ?
A scuffle broke out at Jantar Mantar between the protesting wrestlers and the Delhi Police when they were bringing in folding beds for their night stay and the on-duty police personnel stopped them. The wrestlers alleged that the police officers started misbehaving and even abused the women wrestlers. Talking to the media, Vinesh Phogat burst into tears and said that they want to kill us.
Wrestlers have opened a front against Wrestling Association President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh at Jantar Mantar since 23 April. The wrestlers have accused Brij Bhushan of sexual harassment and are demanding his arrest.
