Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat is the first Indian woman to win gold at the Asian and Commonwealth Games. She is descended from the illustrious Phogat family, considered to be the founding family of Indian women’s wrestling. Her cousins Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari are both Commonwealth Games medalists and professional wrestlers.
In response to a sexual harassment case, Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and Sakshi Malik protested against Wrestling Federation of India head Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. On April 28, the wrestlers claimed that Delhi police had cut off the electricity and food supplies to the protest location.
