On January 03 in Delhi, a group of junior wrestlers gathered at Jantar Mantar to protest against prominent Olympic-winning wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, and Vinesh Phogat. The young wrestlers accused the trio of causing setbacks in their careers and demanded action, claiming the veterans were hampering the progress of wrestling in India and were running propaganda of Brij Bhushan. Amidst the protests, former wrestler Sakshi Malik responded to the suspension of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) by clarifying that their issue was only with Sanjay Singh and not with the new federation body or the Ad-hoc committee. She appealed to Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah to ensure that Sanjay Singh has no involvement with the WFI.
