Mamata Banerjee takes to streets to protest ‘manhandling’ of wrestlers in Delhi

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday took to the streets here to protest against the alleged manhandling of wrestlers at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar after they tried to march towards the new Parliament building following its inauguration three days ago.

She demanded immediate arrest of Wrestling Federation of India’s former chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who is accused of sexually harassing several women grapplers.

Holding a placard with the message, “We Want Justice”, written on it, Banerjee participated in a protest march which started at Hazra Road crossing in the southern part of the city and culminated at Rabindra Sadan, the cultural hub of the eastern metropolis.
