WFI Elections By June 30, Chargesheet Against Brij Bhushan By June 15: Anurag Thakur

Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday said a chargesheet in the case into the allegations of sexual harassment against outgoing WFI chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh will be filed by June 15. Addressing a press conference after a marathon meeting with the protesting wrestlers, Thakur also assured that the elections to the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) will be held by June 30. Noting that the government has accepted every demand of the wrestlers, he said WFI will also have an internal complaints committee, headed by a woman. Thakur said the wrestlers had also demanded the withdrawal of cases against various academies and sportspersons as well as not allowing Singh and his associates to participate in the election process. “All these issues were agreed by consensus,” the sports minister said.
