Olympic wrestler Sakshi Malik has made some shocking claims about Babita Phogat, a BJP member and one of the Phogat sisters. In an interview, Sakshi alleged that Babita motivated the wrestlers to protest against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), because she had her own agenda – to become the WFI president herself ¹.

Sakshi, a Rio Olympic bronze medalist, claimed that Babita assembled wrestlers for a meeting and urged them to protest against WFI’s alleged misconduct, including claims of molestation against Brij Bhushan. Sakshi made these remarks during an interview with India Today, stating that Babita’s actions were driven by her desire to take over as WFI president ¹.

This development adds a new layer to the ongoing controversy surrounding the WFI and its leadership. The allegations against Babita Phogat have sparked a heated debate, with many questioning her motives and intentions. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this will impact the future of Indian wrestling and the WFI’s leadership ¹.
