Two-time World Championship medallist Vinesh Phogat and her sister Sangeeta were also among the country’s top wrestlers to be detained by Police.
While talking to media, Ms Malik said, “This is wrong, we were walking quietly, they dragged us forcefully and detained us and they are not even telling us where we will be taken”.
Indian Parliament Boycott
As Indian protestors continue to prostest against the government officials, the most opposition parties boycotted the Parliament and had not followed the directions.
Mr Phogat said, “Our people are not being allowed to march”. He requested police with folded hands and asked to let them go and that they would go peacefully to ask for justice from government.
The police also removed tents and other items from the protesting site where the protestors have been camped out for weeks. Their handling of March has been criticised by a number of opposition parties.
