I won’t return to competitive wrestling, Sakshi Malik

Olympic bronze-winning grappler Sakshi Malik on Monday ruled out a return to competitive wrestling, saying the long-standing protest against former national federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for alleged sexual harassment has left her mentally tormented.

The 31-year-old Malik had announced retirement in



December last year after Sharan Singh’s close aide Sanjay Singh was elected president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) in a tearful press conference.

She, along with another Olympic-bronze medallist Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat, have been protesting for months, demanding Sharan Singh’s removal and arrest.
