The government decided to form an oversight committee which will investigate the allegations of sexual harassment of women wrestlers by the WFI president.
The agitating wrestlers on Friday reached out to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), demanding formation of an enquiry committee to probe the allegations of sexual harassment against Singh, a day after threatening to lodge multiple FIRs against the WFI chief.
The letter has been signed by five wrestlers, including Tokyo Olympics medallists Ravi Dahiya and Bajrang Punia.
The marathon meeting began around 10 pm on Thursday, the second day of the wrestlers' protest against WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
The world championship medallist said she received death threats.
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has been at the helm of WFI since 2011. He was elected President for the third consecutive time in February, 2019.
Bajrang, who was wrestling with a bandage on his head due to the injury he sustained during his pre-quarterfinal, produced a spirited fightback against Puerto Rico's Sebastian Rivera.
