Refusing to entertain wrestler Sushil Kumar’s plea, the Delhi high court on Tuesday said that “individuals may suffer” but the country has to be placed on a “higher pedestal” and left it to the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to decide on India’s challenge in the 74-kg men’s freestyle at the Rio Olympics, a bone of contention between Sushil Kumar and Narsingh Pancham Yadav.
The court’s observation came amidst allegations by the WFI counsel that two-time Olympic medallist Sushil had been approaching the PM and media for getting an Olympic berth even as Narsingh had won a medal in the world wrestling championship in the 74-kg freestyle category.
