New Delhi | Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan on Wednesday dismissed the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him by top Indian wrestlers who staged a protest against him and the federation at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. At the same time, he said that “if the allegations against me are proved, I will hang myself.” Earlier, on Wednesday, star wrestler Vinesh Phogat accused the WFI president of sexually harassing women wrestlers.
When I came to know that the wrestlers were protesting, I did not know what the allegations were, Sharan told reporters here.
The WFI president said, “It is a conspiracy against me and a big industrialist has a hand in it. When Vinesh Phogat lost, I was the one who inspired her.”
He said, “I will talk to the players. I am ready to face any kind of investigation. Sexual harassment never happened. If even a single athlete comes forward and proves it, I will be hanged.”
Brij Bhushan, 66, also said that he would not give up the post of WFI president.
Brij Bhushan said, “I hope she (Vinesh) will send all these allegations in writing to me. I will reply to them. The rest can be investigated by the CBI or the police. It is a huge allegation.” (IANS)
