Boxing great MC Mary Kom will head a five-member monitoring committee that will probe allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
The government-appointed committee will also run the day-to-day affairs of the WFI for the next one month.
Other members of the panel include Olympic medalist wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, former badminton player and Mission Olympic Cell member Trupti Murgunde, ex-TOPS CEO Rajagopalan and former SAI executive director-team Radhika Sriman.
The panel was announced by Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on 23 January.
Mr Thakur had on Saturday decided to form a committee after three-day strike in protest by some of the country’s top wrestlers including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Ravi Dahiya against the WFI and Singh.
