In a statement to the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya addressed the shocking disqualification of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat from the Paris Olympics.

The incident, which has sent ripples through the Indian sports community, occurred when Phogat was found to be 100 grams overweight for her 50 kg category competition.

Mandaviya explained that according to United World Wrestling (UWW) rules, athletes failing to meet weight requirements are disqualified and placed last without rank. The minister detailed that on the day of the weigh-in, Phogat's weight was recorded at 50.1 kg, just over the limit for her category.

In response to this development, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has lodged a "strong protest" with the UWW.

Furthermore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has instructed IOA chief PT Usha, currently in Paris, to take "appropriate action" regarding the matter.
