A scuffle broke out between protesting wrestlers and Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar during the late hours of Wednesday. The protesting athletes have alleged that police personnel attacked and abused them.

The demonstration in the national capital comes in the wake of sexual assault allegations against the Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Singh

Vinesh Phogat, who has won multiple medals for India in wrestling, expressed her frustration over the situation.

“Did we win medals to see this day?” asked Phogat while talking to media after the incident.

The protesters alleged a “drunk” police official attacked two wrestlers under the influence of alcohol, while his colleagues were mute spectators.

The wrestlers, who have been staging a sit-in at Jantar Mantar since April 23, alleged that they were bringing folding beds as their mattresses got wet due to rain but the police did not allow that.

According to reports, the police have sealed the Jantar Mantar area after the incident and no one will be allowed to enter the protest site, which recorded attendance of several opposition leaders, and meet the wrestlers.
