Olympic wrestler Sakshi Malik accused the media on Tuesday of defaming wrestlers and failing to spotlight the alleged wrongdoings of former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Sakshi Malik said while she chose to engage with the media to share insights from her new book, the coverage has instead leaned toward sensational narratives that defame wrestlers.

Sakshi Malik condemned the lack of attention on critical women's issues and stressed that the media should amplify their voices rather than perpetuate harmful narratives. Sakshi Malik, a medallist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, has revealed heart wrenching chapters of her career in her memoir, Witness. Recently retired from the sport, Malik made a shocking allegation against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accusing him of sexual harassment.
