Vinesh Phogat, a two-time Olympian who has accused Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexually abusing her, said she has also been hurt by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on the issue.
“I have only felt a deep sense of humiliation since I mustered the courage to say that I have been molested by a powerful man,” Phogat told Reuters in her first interview since she and fellow wrestlers were forced out of a protest site by the police in May. “It was the same disgusting pattern over and over again and I am among the victims,” she said at her residence in the northern state of Haryana.
The wrestlers took to the streets in January but withdrew the protest after Mr Singh was stripped of all administrative power at the WFI.and the protest site was forcibly cleared on May 28.
