The “shell-shocked” protesting wrestlers, besides Sakshi Malik, have returned to their properties in Haryana, and did not speak with the ready media in Haridwar due to a silence vow, a member of the protest group mentioned on Wednesday.
The grapplers had resumed their agitation in opposition to Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on April 23 at Jantar Mantar and stayed there until May 28, the day they have been detained by the Delhi Police throughout their march in direction of the brand new Parliament constructing.
Immediately after their detention, the police cleared the protest website and made it clear that wrestlers will not be allowed again to the Jantar Mantar.
The police motion in opposition to the wrestlers drew criticism from totally different quarters.
On Tuesday, they threatened to immerse their medals into the holy river Ganga however the farmer leaders stopped them from taking the acute step.
“They were crying since morning. It is not easy to throw away even a medal won at district level and they were ready to throw away those big international medals. They were shell-shocked, not a word was coming out of their mouths,” mentioned a member of the protesting group.
“They had taken a silence vow for Tuesday and that’s why they did not speak with anyone in Haridwar. All have returned to their respective homes but Sakshi is still in Delhi,” he added.
While the wrestlers did not handle the media, they have been seen having discussions amongst themselves, whispering in one another’s ears.
The temper was sombre when the wrestlers arrived on the well-known Har ki Pauri with their medals as they wept and have been being consoled by their relations.
They did not perform their risk and returned with their medals after farmer leaders sought 5 days to kind out their points.
The wrestlers have been demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan, who they’ve accused of sexual exploitation.
Two FIRs have been filed in opposition to him, together with one in POCSO act, however it’s now being claimed that the ‘minor’ who has filed a grievance in opposition to the WFI chief is definitely not a minor.
The oversight panel, which was fashioned by the federal government to probe the allegations, did not make its findings public however sources had claimed that the six-member committee did not discover any incriminating proof in opposition to Brij Bhushan.
The WFI chief has denied all the costs and mentioned that even when one allegation is proved, he’ll “hang himself”.
Brij Bhushan has alleged political conspiracy behind the protest.
