Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s loyalist Sanjay Singh was on Thursday elected as President of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) with his panel comfortably winning 13 of the 15 posts in the much-delayed polls, an outcome that triggered outrage among protesting wrestlers and Sakshi Malik announced her retirement from the sport. The trio of Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Malik had launched an agitation against Brij Bhushan in January this year, aggressively pushing for a change of guard in the WFI but a close associate of the BJP MP is now at the helm.
