Vinesh Phogat has raised serious concerns ahead of her comeback at the National Open Ranking Tournament in Gonda after nearly 18 months. In a video message, she warned that the Indian government would be responsible if any untoward incident occurs involving her, her team, or supporters during the event. She also expressed apprehension about possible biased officiating, alleging that the competition venue is linked to individuals close to former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The remarks have intensified scrutiny around the tournament’s fairness and security arrangements as the decorated wrestler prepares to return to competitive action. (PC: AP)
