This comes a day after Bajrang Punia returned his Padma Shri Award in protest against Brij Bhushan Singh's close aide Sanjay Singh's victory in the WFI polls.
Sakshi Malik, India's lone female Olympic medallist in the sport wrestler, has quit the game in protest, while Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia has returned Padma Shri - one of the country's highest civilian awards.
Bajrang was stopped at the Kartavya Path by Delhi Police officials when he tried to reach the Parliament to meet PM Modi and hand over his letter.
'We fought from our heart but if a man like Brij Bhushan, his business partner and a close aide is elected as the president of WFI, I quit wrestling,' said a teary-eyed Sakshi.
The outcome of the polls would give top wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik the feeling that their protest against Brij Bhushan has come to naught as they could not get the fraternity behind them.
As per Tokyo Games bronze medallist Bajrang, they withdrew their protest after the government assured that no one related to Brij Bhushan will contest the polls.
The results will be announced the same day.

The court also granted bail to Vinod Tomar, the suspended assistant secretary of the WFI, in the case.
