The father of a minor wrestler had told a television channel last week that he has “corrected” the statement in connection with the case against Brij Bhushan Singh and he had filed a false complaint against him “out of anger”.

Olympian Bajrang Punia later stated that the father of the minor girl had said that he “was under a lot of pressure” and that the entire family was “in depression”. He had said that if the chargesheet in the complaint by the wrestlers is not filed by June 15, as assured by the government, the wrestlers will go for a bigger protest. (ANI)
