TL;DR Summary

India's top female wrestlers, including Olympic medalists Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik, have been protesting in Delhi for the past 15 days, demanding the investigation and arrest of the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, who they allege has sexually harassed seven female wrestlers over more than a decade.
