NEW DELHI, Dec. 24, 2023
From our Sports Correspondent
Union Sports Ministry today suspended the Wrestling Federation of India (W.F.I.) till further orders after the newly-elected body made a “hasty announcement” of organising the U-15 and U-20 nationals “without giving sufficient notice to wrestlers” to prepare.
The W.F.I. elections were held on December 21, 2023 with former president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s loyalist, Sanjay Singh and his panel winning the polls by big margins.
The new body has not followed the W.F.I. constitution. We have not terminated the Federation but suspended till further orders. They just need to follow the due process and the rules, a Sports Ministry official told The Bharat India.
