Late Wednesday night, a scuffle broke out between the wrestlers and police personnel after the latter did not allow the grapplers to bring folding beds to the protest site.
The protesters claimed that a drunk police personnel had attacked two wrestlers who were part of the demonstration, and that his colleagues did nothing to stop him.
Top wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who was present at the scene, broke down in tears and expressed her disappointment over the situation.
Phogat, a multiple medallist for India in wrestling, accused the personnel of pushing and shoving everyone and was visibly upset by the incident.
She further raised concerns about the lack of female police officials presence at the scene and questioned their absence.
