The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, stated on Wednesday that he would hang himself if the allegations against him were proven to be true. Singh spoke out after Indian wrestlers Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and Vinesh Phogat deferred their plans to immerse their Olympic and world championship medals in the Ganga. Expressing frustration over the duration of the investigation, Singh stated, “It’s been four months. The government is not hanging me, and so they are going to immerse their medals in the Ganga”. The WFI chief reportedly added, “Immersing your medals in the Ganga won’t get me hanged.
