The wrestlers, however, said they are planning to take the protest forward. They also got support from other athletes, including India's only two individual Olympic gold medallists Abhinav Bindra and Neeraj Chopra.
"As you all know, yesterday we were detained while we were trying to take out a peaceful protest march. They have filed FIRS against us even though we didn't damage any property or person.
There were 20 police personnel on each wrestler, so you can well understand how we were treated. To all our supporters, we would like to say that our struggle is not over yet," Sakhi Malik, a bronze medallist at Rio 2016, said in a video she posted on Twitter on Monday evening.
Wrestlers can't return to protest spot, say police
NEW DELHI: A day after some of India's top wrestlers were evicted from Jantar Mantar and detained by Delhi Police, and the makeshift tents they were living in for the past 38 days were cleared, officers said on Monday that they would not be allowed to return to the spot.
The wrestlers, however, said that their agitation is not over yet, and that they are planning to take the protest forward. They also got support from other athletes, including India's only two individual Olympic gold medallists Abhinav Bindra and Neeraj Chopra.
