Vinesh was among the top wrestlers who led the protest against former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over accusations of sexual harassment.

London Olympic bronze medal winner, Yogeshwar Dutt, feels that Vinesh Phogat should've apologised to the entire country for her disqualification from Paris Games.

Since 2008, India has won 7 Olympic medals in wrestling. Six of them have been bagged by the Chhatrasal wrestlers.

The upheavals in wrestling in the last two years have "severely affected" the growth of the sport in India, feels Olympic medallist grappler Yogeshwar Dutt, though he is still optimistic that the six-member Indian squad can win two medals at the Paris Games beginning on July 26.

Sakshi Malik, distraught and emotional, broke down as she left the venue following a press conference in the national capital after announcing her retirement.

Yogeshwar Dutt has said that the seven-member panel appointed by the Indian Olympic Association will look into the controversy surrounding the Wrestling Federation of India.

Abhinav Bindra, reacting to a tweet by wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, questioned the decision to continue with the Haridwar Kumbh Mela amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic, saying "a virus does not discriminate between religions".

Sushil Kumar has joined Yogeshwar Dutt in taking exception to a wrestler being portrayed as a child molester in the movie Commando 3.

Yogeshwar Dutt urged the filmmaker to think beyond the "box office collection" and respect the athletes.
