NEW DELHI : India's top wrestlers decided to suspend their protests on Wednesday after the country's sports minister promised a swift probe of their federation chief who has been accused of sexually harassing female athletes.
Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia was part of the wrestling delegation that met Sports Minister Anurag Thakur at his residence on Wednesday, a meeting that lasted nearly six hours. His lawyer rejected all the allegations levelled by the wrestlers and said Singh was cooperating with the police in the probe.
The rumbling protest and police action against the top athletes have shone a spotlight on government's staggered pace in dealing with a criminal complaint against a member of their political party.
