WFI To Operate From Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's Residence, To Shift Base In February
The Wrestling Federation of India promised it would shift its office fro former president Brij Bhushan Singh's residence to a new venue in New Delhi in February
WFI, which was suspended by the Sports Ministry in December 2023, has been functioning from its old address -- the long-time home of its former chief and five-time BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh at 21, Ashoka Road, despite an ongoing sexual harassment trial against Singh.
"We operated from a small Hari Nagar office and were looking for a better place but the uncertainty due to the government suspension delayed shifting to a full-fledged office," a source in WFI said.
"On Basant Panchami, we will move to the new office in CP. All this confusion is due to suspension. Hopefully it will be lifted and we will be able to work freely."
While handing out the suspension, the Ministry had said that running the federation from within 바카라premises controlled by former officer bearers바카라 was one of the reasons for their action.
Singh faced charges of stalking, harassment, and intimidation, along with making "sexually coloured remarks," following months of protests in early 2023 by the country바카라s top wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat.
