Tomar had said that the sexual allegations against National Wrestling Federation President Brij Bhushan Saran Singh were baseless. Following this, Vinod Tomar was suspended from the post of WFI Assistant Secretary. However, Tomar clarified that he was not aware of the suspension.
“I came to know about my suspension through a call from ANI. I have not received any prior information about this. I have not done anything wrong,” Tomar told ANI. Tomar told ANI that the wrestlers who protested at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar alleging sexual harassment and financial irregularities against the WFI president have not produced any evidence to support their claims.
