Olympic medallist Sakshee Malikkh announces her resignation following Sanjay Singh's victory in the Wrestling Federation of India elections. She expresses her concern over continued harassment. Singh, a long-time aide of former chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, triumphs with 40 out of 47 votes. Disappointed top wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, criticize unfulfilled government promises. Malikkh, who advocated for a female chief, states, "If the new president is Brij Bhushan's aide, his business partner, then I quit wrestling," placing her boots on the table. Singh assures no injustice to women wrestlers. The WFI election process faced delays and suspension, now cleared by the Supreme Court.
