The Union Sports and Youth Affairs Ministry has reportedly suspended the newly-formed Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) body led by Sanjay Singh, a close aide of former chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The action was taken over its "hasty" announcements of national competitions, which the ministry claimed violated the provisions of the WFI's constitution. Alleged transparency issues have also led to the move.
