Meanwhile, international wrestling body United World Wrestling (UWW) has condemned the treatment and detention of Indian wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, and Bajrang Punia, who have been protesting since April 23.

The UWW also urged the authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the allegations, โ€œfailing to do so may lead UWW to suspend the federation, thereby forcing the athletes to compete under a neutral flagโ€.
