A trial court admitted a case of sexual harassment and intimidation against the chief of the Wrestling Federation of India, an influential lawmaker of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party.

But the delay in taking action drew global attention when top wrestlers threatened in May to throw their medals into the Ganges, Hinduism's holiest river, in protest about five months after accusing Singh of groping young women during tournaments. The Dahiyas, along with nine female wrestlers and their parents to whom Reuters spoke, were determined that none of the young women would give up the sport, however.
"The entire system is full of men ... ladies have to be appointed to make girls feel secure," said Virendra Singh, the father of the Dahiya sisters, himself a wrestler who escorts his daughters to training every day. "Parents like me are scared, but we will have to ramp up our vigil and we cannot leave our girls alone," said Rajesh Ahlawat, the father of a young female wrestler preparing for the 2024 Olympics.
