Wrestlers' big #MeToo protest: 7 points

Nearly 200 wrestlers are on protest in Delhi over sexual harassment allegations against the federation chief and several coaches.

The centre had asked the WFI to respond to the allegations within 72 hours.

WFI President Brij Bhushan Charan Singh, who is a BJP MP, has refuted the charges.

Vinesh Phogat, 28, made the allegations against Singh and trainers at a public protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik, who was also part of the protest, endorsed the allegations.

The allegations come months after the coach of the country's national cycling team was sacked following sexual harassment charges.

India's #MeToo movement gathered momentum in 2018 after a Bollywood actress accused a senior actor of sexual harassment.
