The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) led by newly-elected president Sanjay Singh faces suspension from the Sports Ministry due to alleged breaches of the constitution. The ministry cited 'hasty' announcements of national competitions without following proper procedures. Sanjay Singh's sweeping victory over Commonwealth Games gold medallist Anita Sheoran raised concerns, with the ministry claiming the body's influence by former office bearers linked to harassment allegations. The suspension underscores the need for adherence to the WFI constitution, highlighting potential irregularities in the federation's formation. The ministry asserts that the decisions made lacked proper consideration and accused the newly-formed body of being under the control of individuals facing harassment allegations.
