Olympian Vinesh Phogat and several other wrestlers have accused the Delhi Police of withdrawing their security cover just before they are set to testify against former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case. Vinesh took to social media to express her concerns, tagging the Delhi Police and women's commissions. However, the Delhi Police clarified that the security was not withdrawn, but rather, there was a miscommunication regarding the transfer of responsibility to Haryana Police, as the wrestlers reside there. The Rouse Avenue court directed the DCP, New Delhi, to ensure the wrestlers' safety and file a report on the situation. The trial against Singh, who denies the charges, began in July 2023.
