Vinesh also accused a Delhi Police personnel of using derogatory language against her. She also added that the police have beaten her brother, and once one of the drunk policemen had abused her.
Earlier, actress Pooja Bhatt also came out in support of the wrestlers and slammed PT Usha for criticising the protesting wrestlers. “Thank you @jayantrld for your stand, for raising your voice and for being by their side when most have deserted them. It is heartbreaking to see our top athletes left with no choice but to take to the streets and to then be reprimanded/issue gaslit by legends like PT Usha (folded hand emoji).” The original tweet by Jayant Singh that Pooja had responded to read, “Our top wrestlers were on the streets in January and should have been heard, when they first spoke about abuse. PT Usha’s comments (are) in poor taste! I stand with my champions.”
