Phogat, who is the first Indian woman wrestler to win gold medals at both Commonwealth and Asian Games, asked if she won medals for the country to see this day.
Vinesh Phogat’s reaction came after a scuffle broke out around 11 pm on Wednesday when the protesting wrestlers were bringing in folding beds for their night stay and the on-duty police personnel allegedly began enquiring about that.
The wrestlers alleged that the police officers started behaving badly with them and even abused the women wrestlers.
If you want to kill us, then kill us, a crying Vinesh Phogat said during a late-night media interaction.
The World Championship medallist asked where were female police officers and how can the male officers push us like that.
Did we win medals for the country to see this day? she said.We are not criminals. We do not deserve such treatment. The police officer who was drunk hit my brother, Phogat added.
