India's Vinesh Phogat was knocked out of the final of the Paris Olympic Games. 140 crore people were expecting a gold medal from Vinesh as she created history by becoming the first woman from the country to qualify for the wrestling finals at the Olympic Games.

But do you know that in the year 2023, Vinesh Phogat was seen clashing with the Delhi Police? In such a situation, let us tell you what happened when Vinesh Phogat had to clash with the Delhi Police.

Because of this Vinesh Phogat clashed with the police

Let us tell you that exactly a year ago in 2023, the country's veteran wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia opened a front against the former President of the Wrestling Association of India and former BJP MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh on 18 January 2023. Brijbhushan was accused of sexual exploitation. All this protest was being done at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. About three days after this protest, the government woke up and on January 21, the then Sports Minister assured the wrestlers and ordered to form a committee to investigate the matter. However, in view of the serious allegations, Anurag Thakur constituted a five-member inspection committee on January 23 to investigate the allegations.

When the investigation and the committee did not yield any concrete results, the wrestlers again reached Jantar Mantar on 23 April and questioned the committee's investigation and started protesting. A day after this, the wrestlers lodged a complaint of sexual harassment against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh with the Delhi Police, but no FIR was registered. However, after the Supreme Court's direction, the Delhi Police registered an FIR against Brij Bhushan under the POCSO Act and another case.

After this, the inauguration ceremony of the new Parliament was organized in the capital on 28 May. During this, when the wrestlers moved towards the Parliament, the police stopped them on the way. Clashes were seen between the police and the wrestlers. Vinesh Phogat was also present in this crowd. Many shocking pictures emerged from the streets of Delhi. After 14 months, Vinesh Phogat has made the whole country proud by waving the Indian flag on foreign soil.

Because of this Vinesh Phogat was disqualified

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has confirmed that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified for being overweight. The association said, "The Indian team is sad to inform that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the 50 kg category of women's wrestling. Despite the best efforts made by the team overnight, her weight was a few grams more than 50 kg this morning. There will be no further comment from the team at this time. The Indian team requests you to respect Vinesh's privacy. She wants to focus on the current competitions".
