Former wrestler and BJP leader Babita Phogat has also been included in the committee probing the allegations against the Wrestling Federation of India. The wrestlers, who had accused Brij Bhushan Singh, president of the wrestling association, had said that the government has chosen people in the inquiry committee on its own. After this statement of the wrestlers, Babita Phogat has been included in the inquiry committee. Babita, who was part of the monitoring committee panel set up to probe the allegations against the Wrestling Federation of India, had earlier met the protesting wrestlers and promised them justice.

Wrestlers had expressed their protest on social media after the monitoring committee panel constituted to investigate the allegations against the Wrestling Federation of India was announced. Several wrestlers including Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat tweeted, 'We were assured that we would be consulted before the formation of the Oversight Committee, but it is a matter of great sadness that we were not even consulted before the formation of this committee. ' In this tweet, he also tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Sports Minister Anurag Thakur.

These members are included in the committee. It is noteworthy that world champion boxer Mary Kom will be the head of the oversight committee that has been formed. Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur had said after the formation of this committee that the President of the Wrestling Association would not work on his post. We are forming an oversight committee under the chairmanship of world champion Mary Kom. Olympic medalist Yogeshwar Dutt, Dronacharya awardee Trupti Murgunde, TOPS CEO Rajagopalan, Radha Sriman are its members. Now Babita Phogat has also been added to this committee.

More than 30 wrestlers from India started a sit-in at Delhi's Jantar Mantar against Brij Bhushan Singh, President of the Wrestling Federation of India, leveling several serious allegations against him, including sexual harassment. However, Brij Bhushan rejected the allegations outright and blamed the wrestlers. Brij Bhushan's allegations had no effect on the wrestlers and the protest continued. Meanwhile, the Sports Ministry and the Wrestling Federation tried to settle the matter through talks, but all efforts failed. The wrestlers remained adamant on their demand. In the end, Brijbhushan's bets were weakened in front of the wrestlers and he was temporarily removed from the post of the President of the Wrestling Association.

The demonstration of the wrestlers lasted for three days. The wrestlers held talks with Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was temporarily removed from the post of Wrestling Federation President and a committee was formed to investigate the allegations against him. The committee's investigation is underway. Meanwhile, the assistant secretary of the wrestling association made statements in support of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and was removed from his post.
